JohnB40 Posted Wednesday at 06:15 PM #1 Posted Wednesday at 06:15 PM While planking the bulwarks on my Confederacy,I found it difficult to find the right clamp. All had too short a reach,too much tension or just plain junk. I solved the problem with my wife's clothes peg. Just turn them about face and use some heat shrink for the tips for padding.....Works a treat SiriusVoyager, paul ron, grsjax and 5 others 8 John Current Build: USF Confederacy 1778 by JohnB40 - Model Shipways - 1:64 scale HMS Unicorn Corel 1:75 HULKED Completed Builds: Golden Hind Scientific Models -- Swift 1:50 Artesania Latina -- Le Hussard 1:50 Artesania Latina -- Halifax 1:35 Robbe -- Armed Launch 1803 1:17 Panart
DerekMc Posted Wednesday at 06:28 PM #2 Posted Wednesday at 06:28 PM The heat shrink is a great idea. I have several where I made the ends smaller for more precision in tight places. grsjax and JohnB40 2

Louie da fly Posted yesterday at 01:11 AM #4 Posted yesterday at 01:11 AM The heat sink would also keep the peg from getting glued to the piece you're working on.
