    Default WOODWORKING QUIZ for 17 Nov 04

    Good Morning Friends,
    Many clamps I use, particularly bar clamps, have wooden or plastic handles that seem slick, especially with dry hands.

    What do you do to get a better grip on these kinds of handles?

    After you've built a few boats, they get gobs of epoxy and other unsavoury stuff on them, and you don't have a problem anymore.

    Perhaps some wax like you use on surf boards.

    Good Evening Friends,
    Very humorous answers today guys.
    The answer that most use up in my neck of the woods is to glue anything on the handles that will give for a better grip.

    Have a good nights sleep as I know I did.

    Thanks for your support.
