What do you use and where do you get them? I used to have a supplier "saved" on my old computer that crashed and burned last year.
Thanks,

Took about an hour and maybe five bucks worth of material. You can use any material--steel,SS, aluminum, brass, copper, etc., and finish them from functional to show. They are as good or better than the boughten ones and very quick to make. Now for the rub, I'm a real computer neanderthal so I'd be glad to snail mail a drawing to one of the guys (or gals) with computer savvy that could put the drawing on the Stovebolt site to help anyone needing to make clips. It's adjustable for 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, and 3/8 size lines.

I've got it saved to my new computer now. Maybe I should write it down too, LOL,

If anyone with computer smarts is in the Dallas area they are welcome to drop by the shop and see a couple get whacked out--just takes a few seconds.
