Sometimes it's a good thing that I never seem to throw anything away, other times ... well. But for now, salvaging an old plastic spring clamp that didn't work as a clamp anymore and re-purpose it to make it into a hose clamp for my dust collection system that works like a speed clamp now and makes moving 4-inch hoses from one machine to another a quick and easy task.

I did take a small bit of ingenuity to take specialty dust collection hose clamp and adapt it to a spring clamp ... a broken spring clamp, but the finished product works like a charm ...

Anti Skid and Anti Slip materials have been around for many many years now and in some areas, they are finding new uses and certainly in my workshop they are.

One of the tricks I learned recently was how to make a circle using a square, a pencil, and 2 nails. At first, I couldn't see how it could even work.
