It’s the things to make the engravings and things that you showed the last time about those things you showed you make.

I have a brother-in-law who is Japanese, and who fluently speaks and reads the language. If I forward the photo of the boxes to him, will he know what is in them?

Hahahaha What lovely answers from you all. AFAIK the labels identify the company by that logo but the rest is beyond me. Here you go. I treated myself to three boxes of genuine Hatagane mini-brass bar clamps for wood crafting. 180mm x 10, 240mm x 10, and 300mm x 10. Designers also use them for displays; an elegant touch.

What a nice treat. Instead of loose, they come 2-to-a-pack in JDM packaging. Two packs are coming with me for a special friend tomorrow, a graphics designer who is getting into wood crafting. I offered her my old ones but when she saw the gleaming brass, well, who doesn't like new tools?

You should have started the thread as soon as you had a screenshot of a tracking number. Those are the really exciting ones.

And risk interception? I told NO ONE but my tailor, barber, 'friend', gal at the grocery checkout, bookie, rubbish hauler, my other tailor, the guy who tunes my guitar for me when the A is flat, and the guy at the liquor store who saves wooden wine crates from Italy for me.

Artists / graphic artists / artsy display folks use them in creating elegant vertical layouts. A lot of my stuff uses far heavier clamps, but when I'm gluing thin stock, like heartpine sun catchers, these cannot be beat.
