BillyJack Posted January 4 Author Report Share Posted January 4 Getting to were my hands have problems with all this clamps. At the end of the day I start to have problems with squeezing the clamps to re hang them up. While working for designer in Kansas City, I found I was having shoulder problems from the dialysis treatments. He had tall work benches and my arms were high. I left early one day because of this. I created a topic a while back about easier clamps to buy and use because my hands are hanging problems with all the squeezing and twisting of clamps.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 I have successfully done an inkjet print transfer to wood, using ordinary waxed paper from the kitchen. As effective as the label paper, but much less expensive. If you don't want to buy a CNC laser engraver, a pretty good substitute is to use a stencil and ammonium cloride as shown here, or a ScorchMarker pen. Works best for simple graphucs and lettering, but photo images can be made as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted January 13 Author Report Share Posted January 13 There is a lot of options going on out there that work around a CNC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyJack Posted January 13 Author Report Share Posted January 13 I’m considering the peel labels for my cam clamps. They/only need be 1” round. I have a lot of old print programs and will need to use the old computer to size them.. I want to use th3 BillyJack symbol.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Yeah, I think an applied label will show that much better than a transfer to raw wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted January 14 Author Report Share Posted January 14 I just need to get it to size to try… Lot of programs, I’ll just have to get familiar with them again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
