Make your own money keyring that you can hold a few notes encase of emergency or to give to someone with money rolled up inside its a great way to give someone money for their birthday ! you cna then simply pull out the note/bill by pulling it through the slot !

cut a slot with the tablesaw you need to cut far enough so you can fit a bill or note inside.

I then cut the stock in half with a tablesaw and a handsaw as my blade is too dull for this hard wood, then i used an orbital sander and sanded it down then i used some hand sandpaper to knock of the sharp corners.

Finishing Up
