    Sheet Metal Filing Clamp

    I've been making a lantern folded out of brass sheet and wanted an accurate edge to file to.

    Just 2 pieces of 1/4" mild steel, edges case hardened and 2 6mm bolts.

    This allows me to align the edge against the marked line and then to file to it.

    Work in progress for the lantern on the lamp post engine...
