I think it probably is one of his ideas - I've got some the same and I doubt if either of us invented them.bugbear":3500idri said:My sash clamp pads are cut from plywood; the slot fits nicely over the bar, and they stay in place pretty well.
Easy and cheap to make, and they don't attract iron filings from all over the workshop.
IIRC this may be a Robert Wearing design, not sure.

I have one of them - it also has cable ties, lolly sticks, tooth picks, kebab skewers, felt tips, Stanley blades, old toothbrushes, screwdriver bits and cotton buds on it.

... and his great tip for filing the corners off the hole to make it slide easier. I'll be doing that with mine tomorrow.

Actually I have had time to make some for the show. I'll changed the design a little so if you want a free pair of MK2's call be the stand (No. 154).
