Clothes Pins Modifications

Here's another idea I came up unless someone else thought of it first and I'll be shocked if some else hasn't. I made a modification to the inversed clothes pin as a clamp. I cut point on them to allow me access into the corners of a model. It was perfect and I got the max in clamping power right at the tip. Someone else has to have come up with this idea. wc

Maybe someone else has come up with the same idea already. I don't know. On your part WC - way to go buddy, sheer genius!

Good thinkin' Waddy. I find these reversed peg clamps indispensable and for sure I'll be modifying a couple of mine to points too.

Yes, the "idea" has been around for a while now, yet the clipped pointed ends is something I have not seen before. Good stuff WC.

I'm always trying to find ways of giving back what all of you have giving me. A hobby that is more rewarding then most other hobbies I enjoy plus it really helps to fight off migraines. It doesn't remove them but helps with pain. Side tracking the pain with deep involvement into paper modeling. You gals and guys are the best. Thank you. wc
