Ok, so this is also not part of the original design but I quite like this amendment.



If you have any wood left over. cut a piece which is as thick as your other pieces and also as wide...something like 6mm x 6mm x 60mm. Take this piece and glue it to the bottom/inside of one of your pieces of wood. Wait for the glue to dry before moving on to the next step.



This piece will act a bit like a fulcrum for your card case and cause a direct pinching force on your cards at the end while allowing the case to open a bit easier...It also reminds me of those chopsticks for children with the rubber-band around them.



*Note: The picture for this step was taken after sanding because originally I didn't add the fulcrum until after I had sanded it which, in retrospect, was a minor mistake.
