Look what my DH just finished for me. I can't afford to buy the Kam press - but, I saw some of these being made online. My DH looked at it and said he'd make me one. It is removable if need be. Isn't my hubby a gem!!! Hugs, Laura*

Have got to show this to my husband--he is a do it yourselfer also--always fixing what is broke [when he feels like it or gets around to it] lol. He has done a lot for me also. This is grand. So cost saving!!

He's a keeper. I have a hubby, who I'm thankful for. He has made me things that has worked as well for me and saved lots of money, for my sewing room. Today I learned how to take a dish washer apart and clean. Saved us a lot on house call.

Lucky you to have a handy husband who will do this. I have to push mine against the counter because my hands aren't strong enough. But that works too.

What a great job he has done, Laura. I know that we often feel the need to give them a job to keep them out of trouble :), but now I'm wondering which female will be first to say she has made one herself. I'm pretty sure many of us who (do or) don't have access to such a handyman would have the tools to be able to do this ourselves :)

I hope you don't strangle me. I made up a drawing/diagram of your picture and put some measurements on it and sent it to the Kam Snaps Face Book page. Then people began to ask questions and I just posted your picture. Then I realized I should give you credit for your idea and picture but didn't know how. Somebody found you so now I can do it. Kamsnaps.com also put my drawing on their website but not your picture. I just want to thank you both for the idea and picture.

Thank you Laura, I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how I'm going to use mine as I don't have the strength in my hand. Hope you DH hasn't put a patent on this one I'm asking my DH to make me one as well.. Marian

Oh, Marian, we pretty much copied it from one we saw online. It is nice having the left part jut out a little to put your left hand on and clamp down with your right hand (or turn around for lefties). It took me no time to do 9 sets of snaps with this gadget! Hugs, Laura*
