I can see that as a use for them.
Crafts...
But still a big no go as a wooden match shooter.
Showed slumlords daughter how to make a match shooter years ago.
I was trying to nail one of his cats with it.
Not very precise or target rich enviorment anyways...
Slumlord had the cats on edge....
They heard my lighter flick to touch off the match and hauled azz.
Learned behavior from him launching bottle rockets at em.
The Bic flick sends them cats into haul azz mode....
🤣🤣🤣 Maybe do a tutorial on this match shooter? Lots of pics...... What finish for the stock???   Hmmm..... Maybe do the 6 soda can cannon that launches tennis balls or pringles cans. Lighter fluid is the power. Jefferson Street bazooka crews... Wasnt safe for certain kids to be outside. Tennis ball put a hurting on dat azz out to around 60 yds. Work in 2 man teams.. Adjust off the other team if a miss. Volley fire... 2 direction ambushes Kill zones and set up to channel a fugger into one by a delibrate miss by other crew. Man.... The early 70,s was a great time to be a azzhole kid!!! 👍👍👍 Yep, miracle most of us made it. One eyeball and some fingers lost amongst the crew I ran with. Mostly fireworks and tater guns along with plenty of stupid.

Only those who still have clotheslines! And the ones that use them for chip bags like me. I use spring loaded ones for chip bags also. 👍👍👍 Me too, right on. I also hang laundry with them.

Them old wooden style, no spring, are much harder to attach, to ya wife's nipples, than the new fangled ones !

Renegade50: I distinctly remember sitting on our lawn as a tyke watching my mother pin clothes to our clothes line with the non-spring activated wooden clothes pins.
I would entertain my self occasionally by pinning my tiny nose shut with the pins.
Mother would scold me about that.
I have NOT seen one of those all wood clothespins in a long time.
New 2 99s - you are a bit of a perv I see?

Use them on some pistol/revolver trigger guards. Saves room on a shelf by allowing you to store them nearly upright.

The only problem with the old style wooden clothspins is they worked forever. Nothing to break. never needed to be replaced. The spring style that replaced the old ones had to be replaced when the springs wore out or rusted. It may be one of the first items designed to get your moneys worth out of them. Then you would have to go buy more. Could be one of the first items designed with planned obsolescence in mind.
