Clamps, was re: Back- check leathers

[Alan]

"draughtsmans supply shop"???

The closest my colonial little mind can come to a translation of this phrase
is "draftsman's supply shop" which, if correct, presents the further problem
that I don't think there are many such places left as a big percentage of
engineering and architectural drafting is now done on computers. Maybe in
big cities.

I also assume (always dangerous) that you are talking about clamps they
would use to clip large sheets of paper to the edges of their drawing
boards. Yes? If so, I have seen such a clamp and it might, indeed, be useful
for backcheck leathers.

I just googled up some internet drafting equipment supply houses; couldn't
find these clamps though some drafting boards seem to come with them. Got a
source to recommend on either side of the pond?

Having removed the old leathers and using pre-guillotined leathers cut using

sample of the old leather, use PV thick on the tip of the block, attach the 
leather strip and allow to dry. Do all the check blocks. Then start at the 
1st. check block, glue and bend the remainder of the tail check-leather into

place using DRAUGHTSMANS CLAMPS to keep in place while drying. These clamps
are about an half inch wide, one and a half inches long and are 
available from any decent draughtsmans supply shop. Very fast. Very 
efficient. Better than wooden spring clothes pegs - and they have a long 
flat side to keep all the leather tight up against the block. Tip from the
UK Regards Michael G (UK)
