Spring-action Holders for Finishing
Jul 29, 2015
I make these simple spring clamps to hold small parts for finishing and to hang them up to dry. They are made from
insulation support wires (stiff steel wires used to hold fiberglass insulation between ceiling joists). Wrap the wire around a bar or dowel to make two loops. Then sharpen the ends and bend the last 1⁄4 in. horizontal.
