Ants wanted

Hi cultana and Peter,
I stand enlightened.
A few weeks ago I was putting on a display at an outside venue and the fairly strong breeze kept blowing the tablecloths up . I ended up locking the jaws of spare braces onto each corner of the tablecloths to hold them down.
I had the idea that I could make 6 or 8 miniature brace tablecloth weights, to go with my display theme, by casting them in lead or solder, but eventually put it in the too hard basket.
Perhaps it's not really that hard at all.

Regards,
Geoff.

Geoff,
what you suggest, casting a miniature brace in lead, is really quite simple. A two part mould that can split down the centre.
So as not to loose it in this thread, perhaps starting a new thread is best.
HOWEVER....I can visualise those little weights growing feet and running off.

Regards,
Peter
