I have been making flowers, these old irons i bought at a yard sale are great to to use instead of clamping

I have some short steel bars I use.    Yes, those irons would work nice.  I have two that even have handles on them.  I wonder it my wife would notice if I moved them to my shop.

We have a couple of them around the house too.  I'd use them for weights, but then how would my wife iron my socks?

Hey Paul:
Go ahead, I dare you, and if you survive please report back to let us know how great your wife is

The round iron weights from barbell sets wout great for this and are in weight from 1.25 lbs up to 50 lbs.

I should repeat what I said on the other forum.  Great tip, but no irons at our house.  Dianne asks, "What is an iron?"

It seems everybody has some weights of some sort. I have no exercise equipment of any kind. Oh wait, I've got a treadmill that sits in the corner of my office. Unused.

Have one of those that has the arm handle things for moving your arms as you walk on it.. Make a nice coat rack or hat rack.. little on the pricey side if you get them new.. At least it's double purpose and the workout you get just cleaning it off to use is plenty for one day,

My favorite weights are bricks I wrapped with duck tape.  Cheap and easy to make, plus they work good.
