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*

this is great, the proper ones are way too expensive. Yours will undoubtedly outlive the purchased variety too.

Yes your hubby is a gem. Glad he could do this for you.I would imagine it is better than the expensive one. Is you hubby a tool and die maker or just real handy?/Lillian

Thank you, Lillian - he is just really handy. He can work on cars, fix plumbing, do electrical. He and our sons installed solar panels on our roof ...etc. I know I am blessed!!! Hugs to you, Laura*

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*

He used wood scraps to make this one - virtually no cost except his time! You are right - they are irreplaceable!! Hugs, Laura*

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.

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 :)

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.

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.
