>These are used to hold the clasp on a bracelet while attaching to a wrist. All the women around here love them.
The smooth clips come from Radio Shack,1 1/8",10 to a package for about $3. Solder a wire to the clip, drill hole and super glue,epoxy to wood design of your choice. Endless design possibilities on how you make them.

>What a neat idea! Thanks!
The other use for them is to light the pilot in your water heater! Actually, mine is made from a regular aligator clip and bent coat hanger wire...

>I use a propane torch to light the pilot. I always had a lot of problem and used a lot of matches waiting for the gas to get there. If you use the torch, it will heat the thermocouple, the main burner will light, and there is not problem at all for the pilot to take off at the same time.
