Default Make your own clamps

We always hear "you never can have enough clamps" well The Wood Guy's video shows you a cool way to make your own.
You won't be sorry you watched.

Evie

All you need to do, I think, is pause it and let it completely load, move the slide to the beginning and then you sould be able to watch without stoppages or hinderance. - I need to do this on my computer at work, not at home.

Good Luck

Sue

Evie the clamps in the video are wedge clamps. I have used those and a frame to glue up panels, because I dont have enough bar clamps.

You can make a different style of clamp by cutting rings of PVC pipe.
Cut a slot in one side of the ring and you get a "C" clamp. You can make dozens for a few pennies.

I also use clothes pegs and fold back paper clips.

Evie I don't know why you can't play the video, but I got these photos for you.
These clamps are V shapped, and you draw the outside of your frame on a piece of plywood, then you screw down one clamp on each of the corners leaving enough space to sandwich another clamp between the frame and outer screwed down clamp. When everything is lined up you tap in the loose clamp till tight.
Here is the link again just in case you can watch it.

Sue, thanks, I will try that.
and
WD. that is cool. wedges, gosh that is what I do in many things.
that octagon. sorry can't spell it. that is one of the hardist things. in my case it is not flat though. I am getting ready to do a cake plater. that stands up. with 8 sides. the sides are angale miter cuts. or compound cuts. and then the bottome is also angled. I am trying to create a cone, that I can put the side pieces on. that can slip down the cone to the right degree, then glue it up. and strap it tight. but that wont make it all even,then I have to flesh it up to the bottom. with sanding or ???? compound miters, are the hardiest thing I think I will ever have to do. but I love the pictures you put up. thanks. sliding wedg jigs are the way to go for sure. thanks. your friend Evie
