Re: 8 non-woodworking tools for woodworkers

How about spring clothespins for clamping small items while the glue dries? A machinists vise for the drill press, a metal-workers vise mounted on a piece of 4 x 4 so I can clamp it in my woodworking vise, overhead pull-down electric cord so I don't have to trip over extension cords ** added bonus, my neighbor can't borrow it to use when he trims his hedges** and a whole batch of drafting tools, french curves, triangles, drawing board, flexible curves, etc. Oh yes, I'll second the idea of using a small can with a lid to dispose of ALL screws, nails, brads and other goodies that like to puncture my car tires. I keep a couple of 3 to 5 ounce fishing sinkers around to anchor down the pages of a magazine when I'm working directly from it.
