For convenient work with the skin, as well as other soft materials, you can make a wooden clip. In a constructive way, homemade is very simple, so everyone can make it.
In fact, a homemade wooden clip for working with skin is a “clothespin” with an eccentric mechanism. Thanks to this, working with this device is very simple and convenient.
The first step is to make the eccentric mechanism itself. And for this, you need to grind a round shape on a lathe on a lathe.
And you also need to make a wooden handle, which is inserted into the hole in the center of this workpiece. The resulting part is yet to be set aside.
The main stages of work
Next, you will need to cut two pieces of the board of the same size. They will be used as the clamping jaws of a homemade wooden clamp.
Around the middle, two blind holes need to be drilled so that the spring can be installed. Two clamping jaws are connected to each other using a loop.
At the last stage of the work, it remains only to cover the finished product with mineral oil or varnish, and screw the metal plate to the lower clamping jaw and the eccentric. Now the homemade product is ready.
