The PONY PRESS 1.0 - A DIY press (using clamps) love story

[@JamesManCave]

They got some power in them have those bad boys! Like the idea of the press! 👍👍

[@FixitFingers]

Great concept mate and excellent use of that portable power. By V4.2 it should be perfect! 🤣

[@Nedswoodworks]

Very cool idea mate... looking forward to seeing the 2.0 version..

[@justinbyers1441]

That is freaking awesome right there brother nicely done, i definitely looking forward to seeing 2.0 i see me making a set of these, cool idea and great build mate 👍

[@JesperMakes]

Always a pleasure to watch you build stuff! @delbasidtimbers looks like a very talented craftsman, I will check him out! Cheers Mark

[@woodworksbygrampies1284]

I hope that by now you are familiar with Dale, thanks to Mark I'm now aware of that very talented man also. I shared the video Mark posted when he introduced Dale and it brought her to tears of joy!!! Take care 👊

Smart idea Mark. Not seen one like this before. And the clamps do have a great pulling power 👍

[@possumheadcarpentry]

I do like those handles on them, more leverage, more pressure, nice vid 👍

They were golden PonyBoy!! Ripper idea to add more versatility to the clamps. Love your work Dainsey!

Hello Mark, This clamp project is great. Thats a great idea. Always great projects. It is also very good for saving space. You like innovative work. I sincerely congratulate you. It's a very good job. See you. Stay healthy and happy. I feel happy when I see my label in your workshop. A warm hug. Big greetings. Yours sincerely, Mehmet.

[@mikefisher9992]

I like the ‘quick release’ on the clamps letting you slide them up to the material. Thanks for another great video.

[@aruester9182]

Great work as always Mark! Could you just flip your clamping blocks so the darker wood is on the outside. This should change the stress point, yeah? I'm definitely making my own version of this with pipe clamps. I'm also using a similar concept with pipe clamps for a vise on my workbench.

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Its impressive that the clamps bent the blocks!

[@martyclack8782]

Awsome press there. Great job you will get alot of use out of it.

[@MindMatterCreate]

Thats a pretty good idea mate. The fact that you can get all that clamping pressure evenly is pretty awesome.

[@markking9183]

Awesome work on the Pony Press Medieval Torture Device 1.0 Mark. The chamfers just make a guy happy 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MrGeoffreySmith]

Great stuff Mark!

[@julietphillips1991]

I am not familiar with the ratings on clamping pressure, but your demo shows these clamps have some serious industrial strength! Like you said, steel blocks would be even better, but even those blocks you made are strong and fancy too! Yeah, everything about those clamps are way up there in terms of what they deliver. Speaking of "deliver", maybe Timbecon can deliver you some more clamps, after all, the more the merrier for all the glue-ups you do!

[@Thesidingsworkshop]

Great video mate ..... brilliant idea iam definitely coping this but like you said using the 2.0 method. Although 1.0 works great 👍

[@IsaKocoglu]

I have been preoccupied over the last few weeks and have been stockpiling your videos to watch later on... Finally, I get to watch this one. Thank you Buddy for the heads up on these clamps... will have to look into them more when I need to go buy some more clamps 💯👍

Such a cool idea Mark...

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

Very useful thanks. Am just researching the pony press screws to make a different kind of press and that is useful information. I'm guessing the press screws will be the same as in these awesome sash clamps and it should meet my needs.

[@TheGrantAlexander]

Gotta agree with Sumo on this one, you are a marketing dream! Any company that partners with you will get back 10x the investment! (p.s. I am soo jealous of your clamp sponsorship and I can't believe they didn't approach the CLAMP podcast with our aussie friend Adam)

I'd be inclined to add another cross grain layer to your 1.0 version instead of keeping all the grain running the same way in your 2.0 idea.

[@darthschumy]

Great video and I enjoyed watching this. I've always thought the I-Frame on this Pony Sash Clamp (and the Bessey' equivalent) have been wasted. Very long parallel clamps (i.e >2000mm) could greatly benefit from the strength found in this crazy I-Frame bar. Existing parallel clamps are very easy to bend when they're that long.. 7000lbs is only obtained because of both that I-Frame and the very small jaw depth (i.e. only 45mm). That sort of force absolutely crushes wood (as we saw, but fun to watch: RIP v1!) and subsequently poorly utilized (for most situations). Fulcrum effects are greatly increased by both the length of the bar, but more critically the depth of the jaw. I'd like to see this I-Frame bar (i.e. specifically >2000mm) combined with a parallel clamp jaw (~95mm depth), to keep those long parallel clamps straight. The result will also lower the max clamping force. Now that would be the ultimate clamp!

[@hjboots]

Not to ruffle your feathers but would it not be better to apply a little pressure at a time as to not break your press. Just a though Mark. I thank you for your sharing i know it takes work doing it so again Thank you.

[@timbeconaus]

Plastic bag! Brilliant. Here's us trying to find silicone trays and what not. Brilliant press mate.

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Them there clamps are nearly as strong as my grip strength. 💪😊

[@michaelrobinson9643]

If you fitted Metal 'L" channel on the side/outside that would assist in preventing the flex.

I meant too ask you, what PVA do you use mate? I recon I should buy some shares in said glue company :-D

@@dainermade Interesting mate, I would of thought with the weather you have and the short open time would defo bring on a sweat having to work so fast? Have you tried Titebond extended? Ive. been using that recently and rate it. Just a thought mate...

My favourite clamps mate, pisses over my bessey camps, PJ's they just work no f'ing about, not dry glue issues... Man that's one sponsor I'd like, I'm hit with shower head dickheads and the likes - nothing to do with woodworking.

[@TakamiWoodshop]

I hope they don't say "no pressure" when they give those clamps to all the content creators :) My wife could use that jig to get her suitcase closed when we travel!
