Homemade twelve C-Clamps

In this video I make twelve C-Clamps from the steel remains found at home. All I bought for this project is: 2 metres of steel thread, twelve nuts and washers (total spent 3 $).
I am happy with the outcome.
Thanks for watching.

You have the power of the gods of matter in your hands: "Iron sings to my rhythm". Creative, different and almost fanciful. Fantastic, I congratulate you !!!

Инструмент своими руками - профессионализм высшего пилотажа! Вы большущий умница! 👏💗👍🌺

[@joepie221]

Nice job. Who needs an entire machine shop at their disposal when you have a cutoff wheel and a welder. I enjoyed watching this. Well done and thumbs up.

[@allthings2allmen]

Simple & fine fab! Morten Mortensen's comment & I must say I would also be quite pleased with the outcome as well! It is amazing what can be made/achieved at home for almost nothing. Not to mention exceeding the quality & performance of many a commercial/store bought product. & if things you make don't perform as well as you anticipated for some reason you only have to make simple adjustments or you can scrap entirely & repurpose...I see it as win/win! Great job! No need to tie up the drawing board over & over on such things as clamps!

[@AlexanderCawa777]

Cool. Additional wire, probably all the same superfluous. More work, and not a significant increase in rigidity. And the rest is excellent. Well done.

[@chrisjohnson4386]

Your freehand precision is astounding! Great video.

[@nisar-systemarchitect]

You are my brother... we put 80% of scaffolding effort for final 20% of real/core work... and would not think of putting that C channel right on top of those woods to hold tight... (so funny to see myself as in a mirror...) Never the less they are useful to stuff them in garage... Very nice and good work... and very study hands to get those groves on the rods... best regards

[@colinaskey9777]

Great little clamps,you must have had lots of pleasure making them,you project video gets 5 ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

[@ClintRoseCarving]

I don't really watch much metalworking on KZbin but this was very cool to watch and they came out looking as great as they are functional.

[@rooikatza]

Nice build my friend,want to save time and money!most people say its dangerous but if you have common sense its simple.Ive been doing it for years.If you have a beam like that or any rusty scrap you want to weld for ex. you cut your 12 pieces before worrying about rust then you submerge it all in some pool acid(hydrocloric acid) outdoors obviasly and watch the rust and even mill scale disapear rinse in bakingsoda and water and your good to weld with NO problems!

[@heatherscanlan5016]

very cool, a lot of work but now you have some solid clamps! Impressive

[@KitoMarchetaria]

❤️ These c-clamps are perfect for bonding ( glue-up ) multiple boards or cutting boards, thank’s for sharing !

[@johnaurand4090]

Nice clamps. They look so nice I think I'm going to have to make some of them. Great thank you

[@johnnyalarcon2868]

Hermoso video llevo años viendolo..amigo actualiza ese video y obtendras muchisimos like...saludos desde ecuador gracias...

[@ckeller07]

Great idea. I'm just going to make a few this weekend. Thanks for sharing.

[@stephenlandry4351]

I like this idea better than all the wood clamps I have seen made. The only thing I think I will change is to buy bolts with heads on them instead of the all thread rod with the T handle welded on. That way I can use a battery impact drill to quickly screw and unscrew the length of the clamp. All in all, a great project for clamps that will last forever.

[@nivekoch]

Stephen Landry I like your idea, and I bet you could actually have it both ways. Cut the T bar in half, and weld each piece just below the bolt head. Leaving the bolt head exposed for use with drill, but t bar for easy hand tightening... just a thought!

[@gordonagent7037]

Fantastic project and great outcome, well done

[@natarajansugumar5671]

Super idea for this C clamp. Great and wise man you are

[@billyproctor9714]

Nice job, wish I had that kind of spare time. $50 out of China will get me a clamp with more throat at half the coast. Thanks for sharing, Billy

[@ВладимирЧайка-д4г]

Превосходно! Намерен себе такие сделать! Благодарность за идею! Здоровья и Процветания!

[@originalmaker3019]

Beautiful work

[@rabwoody264]

Well done a great job, when time spent doing things proves to be better than time spent watching things on KZbin ... I just gota get my lazy ass in the workshop lol

[@MrMeasureTwice]

Nice work! Like the colors too.

[@JDeWittDIY]

Nice job on the clamps, they're beautiful!

[@humblehombre9904]

Nice work brother. Those would have cost a small fortune from a store. Warm regards.

[@andrepanoch9213]

finally some simple and effective clamps! congratulations!

[@MultiTom1956]

Just brilliant work!! very innovative build:-) clamps are ( never enough) in the shop this should increase the inventory, ha,ha Thank for sharing your work

Turning junk into tools. Lots of talent there, guy. I envy you.

[@jofloresz]

Why buy them for 3 bucks each when you can make them for 9 dollars each your self! Brilliant makers rule!!! I love them keep the great videos coming! I'm gonna make some now your them man!! People ask me all the time why make stuff you can just go out and buy? They will never get it will they?

[@robertthompson371]

Very professionally done. Thank you for sharing this!

[@jeronimosoares4729]

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Great idea and fantastic work to make it a reality

Perfect clamps my Friends. Congratulations!

[@arthurcampiello92]

great idea and very good skills! if I may, I'd suggest you weld a nut on the top to make it adjustable with the power drill. congratulations!

[@hmarillejla7]

Fantastic. My welder sticks to the job 9 times out of ten!

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

Crank it up higher, use a smaller rod, or grind a better spot for the ground. These three things are nearly always the issue when you get sticking. Source: welded for 2½ decades, on all kinds of metals.

[@JPurontong]

Orange and black would be a nice combination too

[@kukulidouce7129]

I love it...!!! Beautiful work...!!!

Hello my dear friend .... great work ... and you are as adorable as you are in your smart thoughts ... how I wish to be as successful as you I always wish you a happy life ... I would also like to thank you for your wonderful and beautiful work ... I congratulate you

[@christopheleblanc9175]

great design idea , cheap ,easy to find material ,,,, like the swivel design ,,,, , is the backer rod necessary will c Chanel deflect too much on it own , ?

[@MarkMiller-zm2th]

Great job mate

[@keithd5181]

I wish you were my neighbour. I would love you to show me how to weld. Great job. Great skills you have.

That was awesome I need to try and make one

[@marconifernandeslima]

This is fantastic ! It´s A very simple and useful!! Congratulations!

[@cartoon80s90s]

Not the prettiest thing I have seen, but it is inexpensive and easy to make. For use in woodworking, I think adding some softer pads (plastic of wood) on the places where clamping pressure is applied is preferable to avoid damaging the wood.

[@uktony1525]

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Great idea and fantastic work to make it a reality. I hope you and your family had a very good Easter. Best Wishes.

Hola. Muy lindas prensas. Lo que no entiendo es para que el alambre soldado sobre la prensa. Si es por estética está bien. Pero desde ya no le aporta ninguna firmeza a semejante U de hierro de ese espesor. Buen video. Desde Adrogué BsAs Argentina para el resto del mundo.

[@LUCAS-qk9sq]

muy buen video solo un detalle porque no hacer la medida exacta del tornillo roscado para no perder esos pedazos que cortas en el minuto 6:52 sumas esos cortes y tienes mas tornillo util para otro sargento y ahorras disco de corte, solo es mi detalle lo demas esta super perfecto te felicito

[@heathdownunder3671]

Nice got to make some

[@cesaralvarez5982]

As a woodworker who also occationally does metal work and other projects, one of the things I find are the most expensive is labor. Had this person taken into consideration and kept track of how much time it took him to do these things (video doesn't show how long it took to make the clamps) I think he would have regret doing them. I can buy "C" clamps for less than what I make in hour, and use my time doing things that will increase my skills or don't involve re-inventing the wheel. I know many people feel that making it yourself has a value of their own, but is it really that economical? don't think so, some tools is worth doing yourself, cheap clamps you can buy for very little money? Nah.

[@richardnava4141]

Gracias, buen trabajo,, de gran ayuda.

[@kopriva007]

Great work, awesome idea. Why buy when you can make them yourself. Bravo.

[@homemadeinlviv8041]

Thanks!

[@emeltea33]

Agreed!

[@gershonperry5952]

May I suggest that you make the screws of different length. By making them even you have to keep them away from each other as it is shown when you tried to place the clamps in the middle of the board and then another one precisely opposite to it and you had to move it. I guess you got it. If you decide to adopt it, lend me an email. I would like to see it.

[@martinhumaj5426]

Super,boreček,bravo bravo bravo

[@bryansmith1303]

Great Job! Way did you add the wire to the back of the clamp?

[@PauloMonti]

Belo trabalho, ferramenta muito útil e ficou linda :) Parabéns! Beautiful work, very useful tool and it was beautiful :) Congratulations!

[@antmallett6065]

Nice work, but the clamps are very limited reach-wise. i liked your solution for the clamp foot, ingenious.

[@9393dev]

Ant Mallett reach wise you can try welding flat bar to make a C section , just a thought .

[@donfinch862]

Good work

[@taunteratwill1787]

Since the press foot is a non rotating one you better put someting under it when working with expensive or sensitive materials.

[@pecosin72]

Great idea!!!!!

[@justgivemethetruth]

Coool .... but what is the wire rib/bar you welded around the outside for? You have a very steady hand with that angle-grinder. Good music too.
