Yep, neat. Turnbuckle concept. On the farm (old homestead), we'd tighten corner fence post bracing using a similar twist-of-a-double-wrap technique; or diagonal support for a sagging gate.

Similar to the wax paper trick, we used to use Vaseline when using epoxy on=

Box Derby cars.
For example, when we wanted to permanently affix a nut or steel mounting pl=

chassis, we would coat the threaded hole and bolts with Vaseline and then e=
poxy the
parts in place using bolts as a clamp/alignment tool. Once the epoxy dried=
, the bolts=20
could be removed/reinserted whenever required, sometimes hundreds of times =

the life of the car.
You can also "mold" epoxy into a specific shape by coating an object with V=
aseline=20
and pressing it down into the epoxy until it cures.

I have used the wax paper trick on many occasions when using the dry fit
carcass of a cabinet to position mid rails on face frames during the
face frame glue up.

That's a Hoot! OFWW That may detract from her beauty a bit but if you pinch Your nostrils, things could work out I guess.

"Spanish windlass".

Hmmm, I always thought that was a beautiful Spanish girl that ate too
many beans. (or a gabby one.)
