Modeler12 Posted May 1, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 1, 2013 I keep finding more uses for various clamps and clips. What am I missing when looking at the variety below? There are small c-clamps, binder clips, rubber bands, hair clips and clothes pins (modified tips, large and small, and reversed). Not shown are a couple hemostats and tweezers.

trippwj Posted May 1, 2013 Share #2 Posted May 1, 2013 I find these to be rather useful, but also danged difficult to control. sonicmcdude and Anja 2 Quote WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anja Posted May 1, 2013 Share #3 Posted May 1, 2013 Hello Jay, Besides the clamps you showed and my fingers (thank you Wayne) I use these clamps as well. Take care, Anja trippwj 1 Quote Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.

Steve D Posted May 1, 2013 Share #4 Posted May 1, 2013 I saw a useful tip (here of course) for holding down planking on some awkward areas. Using the fold-back clips pictured in your first post, the keyhole-shaped spreaders of one clip are "cannibalised" to make two "hybrid" clips as shown in the accompanying photo. They are useful for holding a plank flat with the extra bit as the glue sets on the bulkhead whilst the main clip is holding onto the bulkhead (you'll have to picture this as I can't show you how it works in application, but I'm sure you get the idea). Handy to know.

Modeler12 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted May 1, 2013 Wayne, I wished I still had the smaller versions of those clamps. Mine are now a bit rusty, large and clumsy. Steve, I have seen that also, but have not yet used them that way (way past planking on my current build). Dank je well Anja, dat zijn clamps die ik ook heb maar die gebruik ik meer voor groter karwijtjes. Word er nog steeds jenever in Schiedam gemaakt?
