Repurposed Muffler Clamp

I shopped at one of my local thrift stores this week and came across this heavy duty muffler clamp for $1.00.

I don't have a clue how this clamps a muffler but I had another idea on how I could use the clamp.

See the nuts at the bottom of the clamp. 

I unscrewed these until they were level with the bottom of the screw so the clamp would stand upright

Next I slid a postcard in between the clamp ring and the base.

And I had an instant photo/postcard holder for a reproduction vintage postcard that I purchased during our trip to Paris.

 This project took less than a minute to create and I love the results.  I think I might have to hit the automotive store on my next shopping trip.

Of course I'm going to use this opportunity to show you some of the pictures I took of the Eiffel Tower on my vacation.  I think I came home with a few dozen pictures of the Eiffel Tower from every conceivable angle.  I'm only going to bore you with a few.

Have a wonderful weekend.
