I saw this on Francolini's sight and it struck my interest. Actually, he had a couple other clamping ideas that I took note of as well.
Anyway, DO any of you know what this gadget is and where I can get one. I know it is a clamp he is using to hold gold down while hammering it in. That part is obvious. What I am asking is...is this clamp made from some other hardware store/auto parts store finding that he has altered or is it something that has to be special made?
I appears to be made from a casting so I am wondering if it started out its life as something else that I might be able to get my hands on.
Here is the link
