I just bought these plans because this is a real fun project with a super tool at the end. Great job. EDIT: I have just got the plans. They are super, really clear diagrams and instructions - John even indicates grain directions!

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks!

[@drumboarder1]

NICE TRY JOHN!

[@donaldmumaw]

It's crazy that one of your paying subscribers would "thumbs down" a video like this. This is the kind of content that i pay for! Thanks and keep it up!

[@Yonatan24]

Paying subscribers would dislike? Almost all of my dislikes come from non subscribers. Over the course of random 90 days, 120/367 likes and 4/93 dislikes came from my subscribers. (from 90000 views, 1500 of them from subscribers...)

[@donaldmumaw]

@@Yonatan24 at the time I saw, it was only posted on patreon and already had two dislikes. Silly.

[@Yonatan24]

If you're paying... Dislike as much as you want! :)

[@drumboarder1]

Beceits impossible to accidentally click the wrong button

[@Dickie2702]

As ever John, you are way smarter than the average rabbit and 99.9% of other woodworkers on KZbin! I salute you sir!

[@Zyrck56]

love the reverse edit at 5:17

[@KyleMerl]

the way you fed that strap through the clamp man... you're a magician

[@RJ_Taylor]

Wow, John, you were right about how easy winding that strap was. It practically winds itself!

[@azyfloof]

Brilliant little clamp! :D I love the fact there's no pissing about with buckles and catches, it's just one strap which you loosen at one end, then pull back tight before cinching down on the clamp handle :)

[@LostWhits]

Thanks John. Great build. It always seems so simple after someone else has taken the time to nut out all the design features.

[@theothermarshal]

Super cool, especially when you call upon your dark magic skills to assist you in rewinding the strap through the clamp.

[@carr869]

I think john's brain must be going mach 10 at all times. I love it.Thank you for the plans. Also the free ones too. Lots of fun things to make that are useful tools when done.

[@jeremyspecce]

Very cool build!

[@mcorrade]

great tipi on threading wood. I always back it out and have wonders why the threads are bad. I always blamed it on the wood but that makes perfect sense not backing it out!!!!! Thanks man

[@Sebastopolmark]

One again you spoil us with a GREAT project and set of plans. Thanks John! !! !!!

[@MrTrollHunter]

Awesome video, really cool with the backwards section showing the winding of the strap. Seems like a really useful little piece of equipment to have. Great design.

[@dwaynetriffitt5123]

John Heisz - I Build It the reason a tread tap is reversed is to add backlash, so threads on the lead do not bind or rust in place just little trivia

[@Atomykatt]

Instead of glueing and pinning the nut wouldn't it have just been easier to use a bolt the size you made?

[@RobertWilliams-sq3hn]

Great idea. Seems simple enough but strong enough also.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Beauty! Looks awesome!

[@guilhermearantescanella4417]

Hi John, I already bought your plan for the belt/disc sander, and is amazing. Very intuitive and easy to follow. Thank you! I am ready to buy this plan as well! Cheers from Brazil

[@bobclifton8021]

Quite clever John and in my opinion a bit more user friendly than the ratchet based strap clamps one buys in the store. Then there's the satisfaction of having made it yourself. Well done!

[@KipdoesStuff]

I agree, there is also the bonus of not having the metal parts of the purchased strap, destroying the piece you are clamping.

[@pocket83squared]

_One time, at band clamp..._ That was an awesome project. Imagine using ¼" acrylic for a top cover, just to see its innards. By the way, really liking the blue saw/work table in the back: it's nice to look at, and it helps both depth & clarity. I watch from a laptop, and I can't stand how overexposed everyone's videos seem to have become; sometimes it's like I have sawdust and sun in my eyes while watching.

[@JohnHeisz]

I considered the clear plastic, actually, but didn't want to put people off the build thinking they need it to make the clamp. I also briefly thought about making one completely from metal, but again that wouldn't sell any plans. Or would it? Maybe I should make a metal one to see. Don't know about "everyone's" videos, but for the most part mine aren't overexposed. I do brighten them up some, since that generally provides a more pleasant viewing experience for most people. It's much like thumbnails - people are more inclined to click on ones that are light coloured and bright, as opposed to dark.

[@hypnolobster]

I bought the plans, and I'm going to batch out 3 or 4 of these this weekend but I'm also really considering making a steel version with a heavier band/longer travel. I have no idea what I'd use it for, but it sounds like fun. I'd totally buy plans all over again for your own metal version.

[@igorkrstic8060]

yeaahh ... some kind of magic.nice video ... very nice.Thanx.

[@symposes]

That not only looks great, its clever. Awesome work John.

[@chuckmigrain4956]

just saw your clamp build, like the design, paid and downloaded plans, looks great, well thought out, will be building it soon... thank you for your time. Chuck

[@chadwilderdyke1275]

Who would give this a thumbs down!? Great video John I will be getting the plans!

[@jonno8183]

Great clamp and simple to make. A tip - when epoxying a threaded rod into a blind hole, eg the handle, rotate the threaded rod in an anticlockwise direction, this forces the epoxy down to the bottom of the hole, seems counter intuitive, however when you rotate the threaded rod as though you were screwing it into the hole the epoxy 'climbs' out of the hole. John B

[@pools2]

I just bought the drawings for this project because I will need them. Thank you so much for them. I'm a big fan of your projects and have bought several of your drawings and built all I bought. Thanks again! Oh, I almost forgot, looking forward to the table saw build.👍

[@VeradonaRestoration]

Excellent, thanks!

[@gr8momba]

Clever build.

[@Toograced]

Good job John. Your making interesting things again. Glad you got your act together.

[@MrHmiko]

SO SO LIKED the reverse playback! was on the spot!! didnt get that at the first seconds...

[@scottsimpey2965]

That’s awesome John. I bought a bessy strap clamp from Home Depot a couple years ago and paid like $35 for it where as you could just use some scrap pieces of wood and just buy the strap and have what looks like a very durable clamp and is good looking to

[@jimhester2004]

Thanks for this, John. I recently bought a Bessey, and it's a pain to use. You need 3 hands. This will be better.

[@MartinJerman]

Great clamp design!

[@Aprendiz-de-Marceneiro]

Quite clever

[@markrowland5393]

Great design and beautifully made. Thanks, John.

[@JGUNW1R3D]

A very functional and great looking tool! Great work John.

[@Kiz027]

very cool! I love the part where you play back the un-weaving of the strap in reverse!

[@valdirdadasilvaalves]

Impressive work John.

[@jerrystark6766]

Great video and an excellent clamp. Thanks!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Great looking clamp John! Thanks for sharing the video.👍😎JP

[@DJlegionuk]

great video John, I really like the contrast of the blue top on the table saw and the wood.

[@konaok1]

Great tool. Awesome plans, can't wait to make this one. Thanks John!

[@rocgrosvenor]

Always enjoy your projects

[@steveweaver8969]

Thanks for all you do, just bought the plans, can't wait to get started building it

[@ejlarr]

Awesome work, John. Ingenious idea and execution.

[@davewilliams355]

Outstanding John.

[@Mucram-17]

Brilliant

[@_J.F_]

I love you always very clever designs, and who can not do with a couple of custom homemade strap clamps. Should be fairly easy to add four right angle supports to the strap for e.g. box and picture frame glue ups too.

[@joshuac1364]

Cool design here. I’ll be picking up some plans. 👍

[@ISIMPLYBUILTIT]

That's amazing. A really clever solution. Greets from Switzerland

[@63256325N]

Clever device. Thanks for the video.

[@Sludgepump]

This is a great idea. Nice design John... Well thought out.

[@JacobRoberts1]

Very cool build John!

[@larryfisher7056]

Great project..I'll be ordering the plans.

[@benzmansl65amg]

Really incredible work!

[@elmergiron3149]

Que buen trabajo saludos desde Guatemala

[@woodgrain8989]

Great job John !

[@s2pointoh]

Love this. Excellent video.

[@marceaton3128]

Great job John, as always.

[@thomasklink3766]

The design is spot on. On another note, Have you come up with an idea of how to shorten the 2x72 yet? It would be nice to cut the width down by making it direct drive also.

[@imortaldeadead]

Great looking build, thank you for sharing

[@dinolino3313]

I'll definitely buy it some day!

[@epicdungeontiles]

Very clever build I like it :) I've saved it to watch again in the future!

[@bartolomeoloforese2777]

hello...I recently joined your channel ... I wanted to compliment you for what you do ... you're brilliant ... turn wood into art ... keep it up. I will continue to follow you and to take a cue from you for my work ... thanks from Italy

[@cwadub]

Bravo 👌 well done, great idea, and awesome design

[@FredMcIntyre]

Really awesome clamp John! Great job! 👍👊

[@andrewmarsden6748]

Good job john

[@imtelling319]

The versatility of this tool as well. Looks cool too.

[@rootvalue]

Very cool, John. Thanks for sharing.

[@brw3079]

Awesome project!

[@mischir-pndu420]

cool design john! some band clamps could indeed be really helpful sometimes

[@philippecarrere9707]

when building the tool is cooler than building the final project ... ;)

[@eubiov8]

Very neat! The first homemade strap clamp I've erer see

[@KipdoesStuff]

Nice work as always, hopefully someday, I will be out of the poor house and be able to get all the plans I need form your website, lol.

[@sergiofilosofo3355]

Wow, what a geeat construction

[@AUXdrone]

I’m always amazed that virtually nobody that works wood knows about rocksett. Threaded fastener to threaded fastener, there is nothing better. And it’s removable with warm water. Forget the silly epoxies and set pins lol.

[@bruderwood3086]

Mantap broh, u are a father of woodworker😆,

[@longshot789]

Great video, fair price!

[@mattnoyes7729]

Bloody brilliant...now will i build your mitre station or this first...hmmm

[@WesHamstra]

thats pretty cool. I have to admit tho. years ago I bought a set of band clamps like this and never really found a use for it yet. it was fun to watch you build it tho!

[@jvmiller1995]

I love to turn segmented bowls and that is only one use. I will be making me a few of these dudes.. Great build

[@nico.m8346]

Very clever

[@paulpardee]

Tea nuts? Is that like beer nuts for fancy folks?

[@RickRubinesque]

I love that voice! Where's that accent from?

[@juleswebb1885]

Really nice!...and much better than a ratchet strap : )

[@greglautz8470]

Genius !

[@davelowe1977]

Ingenious!

[@ibrhemahmed170]

Thank you very much .Clamp not good no catching with successful

[@AngriestEwok]

That's really cool.Thanks.

[@jkxcreations1937]

Damn, this is going to force me to have to buy plans... Why do you make your clamps so simple and approachable to build?!

[@yourface8698]

Is that a strap on awesome great build!

[@grahammacdonald3021]

Note to self, never lend John your prized drill bits!

[@JackmanWorks]

You clever bastard! :D

[@negotiableaffections]

plans purchased - thank you!

[@mattiviljanen8109]

This is the first time I hear the work yolk in this context since 2007.

[@jonatasabreu410]

Muito criativo, construirei um igual!

[@davidcollier6180]

Yet again another crackin video such a good engineering mind this guy 👍🏿

[@gileslaycock-brown7603]

Hi John. Do you have any suggestions for making and attaching 90 degree corners for picture frames? Also do you have any ideas how this could be modified for segmented bowl blank glue ups? Giles UK

[@edwardl.2646]

wow that is the greatest homemade strap clamp how do you come up with this stuff

[@markduggan3451]

Great video.

[@JohnHeisz]

Thank you :)

[@JWAM]

Very nice!

[@QwertyGrodnoWood]

Well done )

[@doak4886]

Cool.
