• This little guy is designed to hold the end of the chaulkline in wood or masonry with its harded pin. Great for the one person crew.

• Here's a gift that is probably TOO practical. :P A caulk and sealant made to block gaps and holes temporarily such as around windows that won't be opened until spring. This might pay for itself serveral times this winter. 8-)

Hmmm. I wonder if the seal n peel would make the trailer a bit less leaky.
The square job is cute. Probably useful too.
Humph. >:( It's available at Home Depot in California. You can buy the video on-line.

John,
I have done a great deal of woodwork, from scratch building early American flintlocks to fine cabinets and the one-handed clamps are one of the best things ever invented for people who work in wood. I do wish I could find one with a 5 or 6 foot bar though. I'd recoment them to anyone for just about any project. Usually high dollar, but worth every penny.
