[Boatanchors] Tooth Picks

[Chris Bower]

Thanks from me too, Ron. Simple idea that was right in front of me and I
never thought of it. I practiced on some old terminal lugs and it works
great.
Told my nephew about it and he called me and said it didn't work for him.
He was using plastic toothpicks.
Sigh.....I give up.
