not too shabby. is that the spring from a clothes pin? Have you tried it out yet? My only concern would be getting my hand smacked - the handle looks a little close for comfort

What a coincidence! I just built my first one of these tonight as well.

Have you tried it out yet? Doesn't look like a mousetrap spring... I say rat trap maybe? I've tried several clothes pin springs, and they are all much smaller. It looks like stainless...

Have fun playing with the new toy. Trim that tip smooth and watch those knuckles.

A man after my own heart. Let nothing go to waste, yeah? Mouse trap for a handle. You beat me to the punch.

There is already a 9 page DIY for plugspinners at the top of this page, so your thread may go unstickied. Sorry.

Did you really come by it on our own without reading Tshock's thread?
