More than one purpose for a cam clamp

Post by Kevin in California » Fri May 23, 2014 5:49 pm

We have this little girl right outside our back patio. The wind blew yesterday, broke a branch that was holding this nest away from the fascia board so then the top of the nest was against the wood and the she couldn't get on her nest, which is holding 2 eggs, so my wife used masking tape to hold the limb down. I knew we needed something longer lasting, so I got the idea for the cam clamp. Now she is able to sit on the nest again.

That is very cool!

Check point -- not a botanist, but those leaves sure do look a lot like cannabis (loco weed)
