Alternative use for stainless steel clothes pegs

[blackalex1952]

The stainless steel clothes pegs here in the photo are useful for liners if they are modified with a kink in the right spot so that they exert an even pressure for clamping. I just used them upside down ie using the spring pressure to apply an outward force in order to narrow a truss rod channel with a filet of wood prior to re routing. In the pic you can see a pretty rough looking jig which works ok for a job like this. But using the clips to press outward works quite well for this job of clamping the fillet whilst glueing. Cheers!

Hi Ross. Where do you buy those ones?

There are a few suppliers. I bought them at an outdoor conference. These people have some: https://www.biome.com.au/1024-clothes-pegs
I don't know what grade steel is in the ones I have, the company has a few types. I don't use them on the clothes line because the lawnmower doesn't like them! Cheers! Ross
