I'd share!!
I just took 2 binder clamps and a handle of one of those little sponge paintbrushes that are round and an emory nail file and 2 band-aid pads for the ends!! and a tiny nail to hold the file in the center but let's it move freely...not nailed down.lol Free and good for now.lol
I wish my digicam took better pics but it won't.i've been 2 days trying to get them right with my scanner ....no luck!![img][/img]

That is a brilliant design!

At first I didn't get it but then I realized that you used the pin with a bigger hole so it can move on it like a hinge. That was smart!
I'm assuming that to tweak it to work you just tried several locations for the pin until it worked right.

I'm impressed! Surprised

"Sometimes one can't see the forest for the trees"! It took me a while to "see" what is there! nice job. It looks like it would do the job. Nice work!

thats pretty inventive, i made a little scale too but its not as creative as yours. its a soda can folded up, crimped in the middle, and weighted with lead fishing sinker and candle wax...but it works

It's portable,cheap and does the job,but yea the nail is just mostly to hold the emory file on there....when you shake like i do.lol it help's!! one could use an ice cream stick but i don't buy ice cream..lol ,
I figured everybody would flip because sand paper emory board..lol but the little band-aid pads are perfect!
