Izzy the reason I love your jigs and tool builds, is that when you get done you not only have something that works but it looks kwel and is a joy to use! Keep up the great work my friend!

[@learnerlearns]

Izzy, As always, I greatly appreciate the effort you put into these videos! I admire your ingenuity, practical solutions, clever tricks and techniques.

[@izzyswan]

+Learner-Lear thank you very nice of you to say.

[@danthemakerman]

Love watching you build this kind of stuff man.

Splendid ! Another one of your inspired, to say the least, creation that will surely populate my shop Thanks for all

[@scotthutson736]

I enjoy your builds and videos Izzy. This is one I will use. I'm in the process of building a new workbench with a 3-inch thick oak top that will have 3/4 inch dog holes. Now I know what kind of clamps to use. Thank you.

[@BronkBuilt]

Great video. As someone really just starting to build out my garage shop the one thing that I really want to have but find to be incredibly expensive for reasons I just can't figure out are clamps. Clamps are so expensive so I don't have many and the ones I do have are the cheapest I can find. Your videos like this and the use of wedges have helped reduce cost a ton. Thanks!

[@billconnelly4459]

As always good stuff izzy! I'm all about using scrap, saving money and building what I need rather than buying it. THIS is an excellent example! Thanks!

[@lylevandervelde9193]

Brilliant job on creating the video. Loved the faster speed to present the overview of the process required to accomplish the project. I really enjoyed your commentary as well over the speed up process. Again I have to say ----- Brilliant job on creating the video.

[@chetos6531]

I always feel after watching every video you do like Wow mom !!!!! Your are one of the best.

[@McGinnsWoodShop]

this rocks!! These will be great for the CNC making stock quick to change. Thanks Izzy!

[@walterrider9600]

thank you izzy. your mind amazes me how do you come up with all that stuff

[@izzyswan]

+Walter Rider just keep thinking.. lol

[@lesneilson5632]

Just found this and I will build some today using just an off centre round cam pushing the tip to contact work Love your work it's bloody marvellous

[@blackceazar1]

Nice to see you back Izzy, or I haven't been getting notifications of your projects. great job too!

[@benchtopwoodworks]

Great dog hole clamps! I love that yet again a common problem can be solved with wood scraps.

[@izzyswan]

+Christopher Harpster it really is cool what can be done with just a few scrap pieces and a handful of hardware.

[@mihumus]

Great clamps, Izzy! Thanks for sharing.

[@dpmakestuff]

If there was a Nobel peace prize for saving money in the workshop, you'd have it. Thanks for sharing.

[@TKHONDA7]

Dustin Penner Its not cheap. He sells it. Watched the video to find out it's an advertisement. B'S if ya ask me.

[@aquaman3680]

Very cool! I went to go get the plans for these and didn't see them on your site. I cant wait to make these!

[@PhilGroene]

Very nice to see a project like this again. Love them!

[@izzyswan]

+PhilGroene awesome

[@TheDublin47]

Thanks Lzzy i made them brilliant use them all the time now in my wee workshop in Ireland

[@matt3642]

Love this video! Camps can be so expensive these days and love the song but it will definitely be stuck in my head all day! Haha keep it up

[@mitchvillanueva149]

I've been considering if I should add dog holes to my workbench, but as u said the cost is not budget friendly. this system is swaying me though. great job izzy

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Awesome and really useful build!

[@izzyswan]

+Scrap wood City Thank you sir

[@gregraso557]

Nicely done as usual! I'm looking to make something similar to adapt to my CNC. These might work. Thanks for the informative video and ideas!

[@WoodenCreationz]

Very Nice izzy. And I have made multiple of the free clamps. I glued a piece of sandpaper to the bottom of the clamp itself that rests on my piece so it has a better grip. May have to make some dog holes and try this one. Glad to see you building again bud!

[@izzyswan]

+WoodenCreationz thanks man ya love the sandpaper trick

[@dnngskn62]

Quite inventive Izzy but that's what you do. Great job on this one.

[@SawDustMakerRJM]

Another great clamp! Thanks for sharing Izzy.

[@izzyswan]

+Saw Dust Maker thank you Sir

[@Kenneths_Adventures]

As always, you do not disappoint! Great solution to a pricey clamp system. Now to build a bench so I can build clamps.

+franco cadena thank you

[@mariosanches6433]

Congratulations. Very good. Beautiful design, simple but many applications. Great project. Parabéns. Muito bom. Belo projeto, simples mas de muitas aplicações. Ótimo projeto. Mario - Brasil

[@marceaton3128]

First, who put my name on your pencil? Second, In 1996 a good friend next door bought a shed and we went in together and put wood working tools in it and we made some projects together. He passed away a year later. He painted his shop the same color green as you did. Makes me always think of Charles when I see that, good times. I need a hold down system for my CNC and this will work. May have to scale it down but gonna give it a try. Thanks for sharing this Izzy.

[@izzyswan]

+Marc Eaton thank you for sharing Marc I dont know why but this color make me relax

[@beast-qj8zl]

love all you builds 👍

[@dagwood1327]

Great job. You have some fantastic ideas.

[@keithwebster2005]

love your videos izzy thanks for sharing

[@mchipser]

with a little adaptation this can be used for a awesome adjustment clamp for a CNC..

[@jackjarvis6541]

I have a large CNC table and one of the issues i'm faced with in clamping material to the table is the large head of any clamp, especially metal clamps getting in the way of the router or bit running into it and breaking. With these, they are the same height as the material and being made out of wood if you cut into them, no big deal, just go cut another one. One suggestion i'd make is that to make your ends on the clamps and on the dogs with a dado of sorts in order to hold down the material also. Not only do you need lateral pressure exerted by the clamps but you need the ability to keep the material from rising off the table when using something like an upcut spiral. Take it from me that slight modification will save you alot of grief. Good Job IZZY

[@MichaelOlsen-Engineer]

great job Izzy! Once I get my bench built, I'll have to give this a good test run.

[@izzyswan]

+Michael Olsen Awesome Michael thank you! Missed you man its been a while hope your doing well.

[@MichaelOlsen-Engineer]

[@fixbuildbypaolobradadiy7976]

Great video!

[@keysersoze5633]

Very nice!

[@GregsGarage]

Nice version Izzy. Did you have any trouble keeping the clamps from lifting up? The version I made last month likes to lift a bit... Maybe I need some revision based on what I've seen you do.

[@RaulRodriguez-yd3ip]

Nice tool !!!

[@veronica5896]

Nice! Great build, thanks for sharing=)

[@josealirioleonocampo586]

Fantásticas.

that is awesome.

[@dptp9lf]

Very Nice!!!

[@Makify1]

Izzy, you are a god. Fact.

[@datadev1]

Ok! One more reason I need to build a bench with bench dog holes. Thanks for sharing.

[@izzyswan]

+WoodRodent lol i hear ya i need to build a bench too

[@dmaifred]

How about (as well) a spiral shape so when you turn it tightens? Might work. No moving parts. Great vids as always. And my pallet disassembler is doing well still thanks to you. Cheers

[@edadpops1709]

Tell you what the million dollar stick is awesome,it works great and is safe.thanks

[@OneWoodAuwoodworking]

Very clever Izzy and about 50 time cheaper than the ones I bought

[@izzyswan]

+Warren Downes - One Wood I been looking at them and wow they are pricey

[@castle5711]

Nice project! I've been looking for some of those in the store, but way too much.
