[@DustinFife]

I’ve been woodworking for over 10 years, and half of these I’ve never heard of or thought about. Great work!

[@EveningWoodworker]

Ha! I'm glad I can still teach you something!

[@simonem.3092]

Best most helpful making videos ever!! Clever, but never eyeroll inducing. Love love love your videos!

[@EveningWoodworker]

Thank you sir! That means a lot!

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Give em the clamps, Clamps! Looking forward to seeing Clamps on screen again. Thanks for the tips.

[@garynelles]

This is a very useful video for both beginners and experienced woodworkers. Sometimes we overlook some of the simplest things you can do with clamps. Good video keep up the good work!

[@EveningWoodworker]

Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful.

[@garywilliams1759]

Great tips and hacks - thanks for sharing 👍

[@HBSuccess]

Good video. I use wooden hand screw clamps for all kinds of stuff…like at 0:35 I’d clamp two big ones down on the bench (usually with two more… but could use F-clamps C-clamps, trigger clamps) and clamp the piece standing up in the hand screws. Also use them directly as stops on sleds, as quick fences on a drill press or bandsaw, etc.

[@EveningWoodworker]

That's a great tip!

[@peggy6326]

Once again this is mind boggling at all the variety that you can do with clamps.

[@danham3344]

Excellent video! I don’t have many clamps but find myself needing them often. Getting a few for each project is a great idea……… but I will certainly draw the line before ending up like those “clamp wall” photos! 😂

[@toonybrain]

These are really good tips. Thank you. One can never have too many clamps or too many wood scraps.

[@EveningWoodworker]

Haha I haven't heard that about wood scraps but that's so true!

Thanks man!

[@KrazeeKraftZ]

Nice work on the clamp video hints and tips, thanks!

[@EveningWoodworker]

Thank you!

[@ChristianBrink]

A couple of things: I think you meant convex, not concave. You want the bow touching the center of the panel first and have the clamping bring the edges of the cauls in. Minor thing when calculating the angle of the effect of the clamps - it should be 45 degrees from the edge of the clamp surface touching the workpiece - not the center. In the same way you can add an extra non-glued board to a panel glue-up effectively widening the area of the clamping effect

[@kathrynnewton8721]

Really helpful thank you!

[@peterlittlejohn8933]

It doesn't matter how many clamps you have, there WILL always be a job that you NEED one more clamp.

[@EveningWoodworker]

Agreed!

[@ImmanuelWoodworking]

Great informative video as usual! 👌🏼

[@EveningWoodworker]

Thanks man!

[@deckerdawrecker1538]

Thanks for the great clamping tips! Is that a butcher block workbench top? I was thinking about looking for some to build mine but not sure

[@EveningWoodworker]

Yes the butcher block top is great! Make sure to get a hardwood top like birch or maple.

[@deckerdawrecker1538]

@@EveningWoodworker okay awesome thanks I’ll keep an eye out for that kind!

[@robertflisowski746]

If you have tin walks and steel rafters how can you build a lumber storage space

[@EveningWoodworker]

Just gotta figure out how to anchor it to the wall... how much do you like drilling into steel?

[@greybeardedition]

What camera do u use

[@EveningWoodworker]

I use an old Canon T4i for most of my filming.

[@KrazeeKraftZ]

Do you have a "hold it together woman/mate/friend/etc" shirt??

[@EveningWoodworker]

Sorry, just the "hold it together man" shirt for now

[@johnmack537]

Use “fewer” clamps, not “less” clamps.

[@EveningWoodworker]

Thanks... gotta get that grammar right!

[@Zamboni-0805]

Get a vice bud, it will not only save you time, but now you can throw away all your jigs and blocks.

[@EveningWoodworker]

Haha why not have both?

[@johnshipps441]

Great tips!
