Assembly Table: Dogs, Clamps, and Wedges (Part 3/3)

[@FlyinTrapezious]

Very Impressive ! Just wanted to ask if you purchased or made up the rubber replacements for the toggle clamps.

[@brianweekley5700]

Thanks! The inexpensive toggle clamps came from Harbor Freight. Just search for 1" or 2" rubber feet on eBay. I used them to make larger, better clamping pads for the toggle clamps.

Very, valuable ... very helpful ... thanks. You have a new subscriber... me.. well earned

[@brianweekley5700]

Thank you very much. Hopefully you will enjoy some of my other videos.

[@robertboenau259]

excellent, old school, low tech ideas!!!

[@brianweekley5700]

Thanks. Old school is often the best!

[@Nifty-Stuff]

It took me a while to go through a TON of other videos to finally find this gem. Going to add a bunch of these dog toys to my new workbench! ;) Thanks!

[@brianweekley5700]

Thank you. Glad you found it useful!

[@mewmew32]

surely it would be easier to just glue a 1/4" backer board underneath to create blind dog holes rather than machining and mounting all those peg stops?

[@brianweekley5700]

Thanks for the comment. Sure, that would work, but what fun would that be? LOL.

[@ryanohayre2809]

Can you provide a link to where you found the rubber feet?

[@brianweekley5700]

I can’t remember if I got them at my local hardware or online. However, if you search for rubber bumpers or rubber feet, you will certainly find some. Not home at the moment, but I think they’re about 1.25 inches in diameter-much better than the small ones that were on these Harbor Freight toggles.

Great vid and great ideas, I'm going to watch the rest of your videos now. One comment, at the start you say that 3/4 is 25mm, thats incorrect, 25mm is 1", 3/4 is 19mm or 19.05 to be very precise and 1/2" is 12.7mm. Cheers

[@brianweekley5700]

Yes, of course, you are absolutely correct. That was an inexcusable error on my part. Thanks!

[@gka7531]

Brian Weekley not inexcusable at all, I take it imperial is your native tongue. Don’t ask me to work with fractions.... it’s embarrassing 😀

[@brianweekley5700]

Gary Andrew Imperial is my “native language”, but I’m a scientist and work in metric so I should know the difference! LOL

[@PeriodWoodworker]

Just found your channel and I love your ideas. Thanks for sharing, Steve

[@brianweekley5700]

Thank you very much. I hope to publish some other videos in the future.

[@johntiefel4248]

This is great stuff. Thank you.

[@brianweekley5700]

Thanks-much appreciated.

[@littleshopofsawdust1157]

I am loving this. All this new content to drool over. Great job, Brian. Keep it coming!

[@brianweekley5700]

Thanks, but don’t get too excited. It takes a lot of time and effort to put videos together. I have a huge list of projects waiting, but time is limited!

[@littleshopofsawdust1157]

@@brianweekley5700 Don't worry, I'll be ready and waiting for the next one

[@catherinehargreaves9959]

enjoyed all 3 vids . iwill have to make all of it ,very well done .lignator jack. england.

[@brianweekley5700]

Thanks. I think you would fine one useful.

[@shelroutdoors]

Great content! I am just setting up to do a full kitchen of doors and love the wedge idea instead of unweildy clamps trying to make your glue up items less than perfecly flat. This is the knowledge I was looking for, thank you.

[@brianweekley5700]

Thank you. I find using wedges with a dead-flat assembly table makes it easier to build flat doors, drawers, etc. (as opposed to bar clamps which don’t always lie flat). I’m more confident I won’t rack assemblies when I have that flat reference table to work on. Make sure you check out my other videos in this cabinet building series!

[@talltimberswoodshop7552]

Good job on the accessories and the video content. I agree with LSOS, keep it up.

[@brianweekley5700]

Thanks. I have a lot of things on the list. Just need time to make them!
