Re: 8 inch clothespin plans
Those look great! I just wish there was a "normal" sized clothespin in the picture to get a better sense of scale.

Probably not for these but, back when we still hung clothes outside some of the pins stayed outside 24/7 on the lines. I don't know what wood they were made from but they sure weathered OK and lasted for a LONG time. Long=years and years.

If I recall , and I could be wrong ,, they use to be made from maple , maple wont leach any tannins or stains into the laundry . all though they are only a few left mom still has some you just push down over the laundry and the clothes line that are as old as I am .

Re: 8 inch clothespin plans
Got my springs today. Don't have the large size designed yet but I can show the large spring vs the standard clothespin.

First cut of a design shown. Will attempt to build a 1/2 of one to see how it's starting to look, maybe pine, or if I have some scraps of hardwood that might work, will see.
Plans subject to changes as I go....... so if you decide to try this let me know how it works or just wait for me to make one at some point.

Re: 8 inch clothespin plans
Please note the 1-1/2" dimension is really 1-3/8", forgot to recapture after changes.......... sorry.
