Tool recommendation

#1 Post by DoctorFrankengun »

I found a great way to hold guns securely to work on them without the danger of scratching the finish. Two of these Wilton clamps from Canadian Tire mounted on a 2x3 in a bench vise work very well.

They look perfect for the job! How much do they cost? I've never seen them there before.

I guess I'm interrupting. Perhaps not allowed. A stock from a 22 Mendoza might make a good base for a kriss-bowl (get it?) Wire or cotton or wool rope? I can make the crank out of an old "come along", but what advice on the bow? Trigger etc I can figure on my own. Should I not ask on this site ( maybe lgal issues?). T

I got them about three weeks ago when they were on sale for $9.99. I think that the regular price was $29,99 :shock: I'm sure they will go on
sale again soon. CTC has regular sale rotations of stuff like this.

LOL! Everytime those clamps go on sale (which is ~monthly it seems) I go in and eye them. I never could figure out what I needed them for, just knew I needed them...now I know! Thanks.
