Popular Post Wichman Posted December 25, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 I needed a way to use the 2 inch wide packing tape on a bench top. Nothing was available locally. So, I bought a tape gun that had a bolt on handle, removed the handle and clamped it to the bench with a pair of vice grips. Now I can tear off small strips of tape when I am working with patterns and stacked assemblies. This is (for me) much easier than using it as a tape gun.

dgman Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 Very clever. Beats rolling over the end of the tape like I do. SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heli_av8tor Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 Denny, Years ago I had a friend with a solution to the cluttered bench problem. He suggested building all benches on a 45 degree incline towards the front. Now the bench is clear but I can't walk up to it.

Rockytime Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Cool idea. That would be handy for me with the exception of painters tape instead. SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a nice heavy base to it so it doesn't move around when you don't want it to. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
