👍 [Pro Tips] Magnetic clips

I know several of you have shown interest in getting those metal magnetic clips. I got mine on Amazon and they were pretty cheap. They come 12 clips to the box and store inside. Since the box is metal, the clips will stick to it, anywhere.
I am currently working on the new Vienna book store. My first piece was making a magazine rack. When putting it together, I noted that the 2 side pieces ar epretty loos and would need glue. but would be challenging to dry straight. I came up with this using the clips. They are covered with a removable rubber cap. But I was able to clip them on and rest the sides against each clip holding it in place. They are drying beautifully!


You could probably enlarge picture and see better. This is just one of many ways I have used. The clips are bendable so I can take and bend at 90* and it will hold the flower and vase while drying. Again, just one more example of how great these are!

The magnetic clips are really handy and useful. Thanks for sharing it. :blush:

I need to get this clip. Mine comes with the magnifying glass but only had 2 clips. I would need more than 2. This seems like a better one.
