|  A Simple tip for clamping G'day all, This is just something that I've done that makes clamping delicate pieces easy (easier) LOL Instead of hunting for padding, for the clamp jaws, all the time, I glued felt to pieces of 3mm ply/mdf. There are couple of advantages 1 - The padding is always flat, no creases 2 - It's easy to find when I need them 3 - Makes it easy to place where I need it.

| John, I must say, Alan has a point, 90", you must have used full sheets to get those, and a wide angle lens on the camera...  Great idea, I always loose the little plastic thingys on my clamps, I think I'll try that. Thanks

| Looks like good advice, John, but I'm slightly baffled - how delicate are the pieces you're clamping, and what's wrong with clothes pegs? Gill

| G'day Gill, Clothes pegs are sorta like socks in our house, they just disappear  I use these pads for clamping pre finished pieces eg. The painted running boards to toy cars, backing pieces behind my bevel cut fret inserts for tissue boxes etc. Plus a thousand other things where I don't want to mar the surface. BTW the running boards aren't painted on the back so that they glue timber to timber
