This little tool can nut just the right finishing touch on your Indian Crow subs by crimping the tips of whatever feather you use. The anvil is a small piece of closed cell foam glued to one jaw of the clothespin. The hammer has been shaped with small files. Some trial and error is involved here.

I crimp as many as three feathers at a time by: stacking them one atop the other, aligning their tips, moistening them, and clamping. After about ten minutes you can remove the feathers and let them finish drying outside the crimper.
