What can you do with a paperclip?

4 replies

I remember making small slingshot machanisms when I was a kid, popping away paper bullets in completely wrong directions.

I made a little guy to walk across a log. The paperclip ended up being too thick to do a lot of small bends with, but I like these legs.

I am so here for this.

I was looking for cherry piters and saw that an unfolded paper clip becomes a good tool for the job.
