Project Information

My wife said I was on kitchen cleanup duty tonight, fair enough since she cooked. As I went to put the chips away I realized that we didn't have any more chip clips, so I thought about the neatly patterned Ambrosia Maple scraps in the scrap bin. 15 minutes later, two more chip clips and much more fun cleanup!

I'm sure this idea has been done before so sorry if I stole it, I can't recall seeing them but I'm sure they're out there. Feel free to use my design! 1/2×3/4×7 1/4".

Thanks for looking!

I haven't seen any chip clips like that. The plastic ones I have usually break. I like that idea. Those will hold up for a long time. Thanks for posting!

What did your wife say when you ditched cleanup to go to the shop?

I think I might make some out of some nice Sapele scraps.

Great idea!! Isn't it amazing how the things we use most everyday are the things we can make in our shop. Thanks for the creative idea. Going to save it in favorites.

How did you cut the slot? I love the idea. Can't keep the plastic ones around.

Nice idea Grant.
I have some scrap that will fit that project perfectly.
And we are always looking for clips.
Thank you for sharing.

Tyrone - My wife wasn't paying attention so I slipped out.

Thelt - I used my TS with the blade all the way up to get a more perpendicular end to my cut, i flipped it over and came back through so I didn't have as noticeable of a slope where my cut stopped.

Thanks to everyone for looking and for the wonderful comments.

I'm very excited to see what other adaptions, shapes, and wood that other people come up with. Please use this idea and post them for us to see!
