Good day
Here, in Poland the WW hobby is not so developed yet and I cannot find many tools that in USA are just a jump to the HD or so.
I made for myself screw clamps, my version.
All the numbers on the clamps are my dimensions – in inches.
The advantage is that you can make them at any dimensions you like, short jaws or long jaws.
Usually the tightening of the butterfly nut with the slotted “key” is sufficient but if you need more pressing force use the wrench on the nut, as in the picture.
Just to make it more interesting, I added a picture of my homemade foam brushes made of some old mattress, just cut it to shape with sharp utility knife and you have hundreds of them, I just through them after one use.
BTW, most of my projects are painted with Poly Varnish, with those foam brushes, don’t use them with Nitro based paint.
Regards
