I have bamboo growing in my yard. I've been thinking about using that for treenails. Does it need to be dried out first?.Hi Tony,
are you soaking the bamboo in water before pulling them though the draw plate ?
Anyone use these, I got these back in the 90’s. knurled finger screw w/ holding clamp. I don’t see anyone using them in their builds.
I used them for those stubborn PCs that just wouldn’t lay flat You just Screw in the frame/bulkhead.View attachment 156269
The screws I was using have coarser threads than those Micro Mark's ones. No pilot holes were necessary for my balsa plywood bulkheads, screw threads are self starting. But in the case of harder material bulkheads pilot holes are necessary.these should have a pilot hole also drilled when using. Anything finer that this thread, would prob just break off.
I have a plastic version of these...probably from the early 80s...they work great and I use them whenever I can't use a clamp...which basically means a lot. I do drill a pilot hole so the bulkhead doesn't split. I have used them on all basic bulkhead materials...solid wood, plywood, and mdf board. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
