    A gadget for the job?

    "It might come in handy one day" is the packrat's motto, and

    "I knew it would come in handy one day" is the pleasant justification for keeping the other 99% in the drawer.

    So how about trying this?


    Attachment 19920

    It is a fret clamp for a guitar - the thing basic guitarrists use when they have been strumming the same open-string chord for years, and want to live dangerously and try another one, without actually using their fingers!

    It opens out, and the clamping faces are covered with leather strips.

    Attachment 19919

    It's too tight for most rifles, but could be opened out (or maybe they come in larger sizes).

    Glue a little piece of hardwood stick, about 1/8"-3/16" square onto the small clamp face, and you're in business for high-speed, risk-free, spring depression and barrel-band removal!

    So why haven't I done that?
    Well, you see, supposing I got a guitar one day...?
