Compound Clamping.
Ed Baxter of Rittman, OH was ready to sand down a rocking chair when he had an idea of how to hold it steady. By securing the rockers with woodscrew clamps and attaching those to sawhorses with F-clamps, he could keep it stable, and at a perfect height for sanding and finishing.
Paint Saving Packs.
Ryan Ficek of Montgomery, AL wanted a way to keep the paints he mixed from drying out over time. His solution: seal the paint up in a few inexpensive, plastic flasks. These allowed him to squeeze the air out as he portioned the paint.
Glueup Pallet.
Zach Berg of Overland Park, KS uses plastic ramekins as pallets for his glue when he needs to brush it on for a glue up. They’re nicely sized for the amount of glue needed and can be sealed. Plus, they come with most take-out orders, or you can buy them en masse online.
