You know I seen some of this style of clamp at garage and estate sales and had forgotten how useful they are for a lot of things other then gluing up 2 parts. If you need to cut hinges into a door 2 screw clamps can hold the door on its side, you can use them to hold templates in place hold tools upside down , its endless just how much you can use them for, and I passed them up at the sale thinking id never use them and went for the quick clamps. I may just make me a few sets of them I have the stock on walnut and popular But id rather have hard maple and white oak .

I use them all the time for working on small parts. Even better for power tools when you need to put small parts into a blade.

I made 4 12" hand screws totally from scratch 30 years ago. I had a tap and die set but needed to buy a 3/8" left hand tap and die to make my own steel pieces. Made my own handles as well. It was a fun project and saved me a few dollars. Of course I had all the power tools to do it so the only hard part was cutting the threads which was all done by hand. Mine were also made from white oak. Making your own tools gives a lot of satisfaction. :)

When drilling through metal with a handheld power drill I use the torque setting on the drill on a low enough setting so that if I put too much lateral pressure on the bit and risk breaking it the torque limiter triggers and stop the bit from spinning rather than break it. It saved many of my drill bits!!!

I had that on, but did not set it low enough for the first break. the next ones it was on the lowest setting and still broke.

Would be interesting to see a 'competition' video of yourself and a 'modern' (read power tools) of you both making something along the lines of the clamps comparing accuracy, functionality, time and then aesthetics. Clamps might not be the best choice, maybe a hand plane, one metal fabrication and one wooden. If you run out of wooden clamps does that mean you're NOT screwed?

@tomsutherland52052 жыл бұрын
It has been my experience that Oak makes the clamps heavier than desired. I suggest a lighter wood such as cypress, red wood even popular. Strength should not be an issue. Weight will be, especially on the larger ones.
@WoodByWrightHowTo2 жыл бұрын
I actually made a set out of poplar a few years ago and ended up breaking one. Oak is actually on the weaker side for them due to being ring porous. Generally, the best wood to make them out of would be something like a straight grained maple.

Has each one of these are different and each one has different holes. I would have to make a lot of different jigs and to do that we take more time and effort than it would just eyeball it. If I were doing these in production then definitely but just doing two of each size. It's not worth it.

The big benefit to the pins is that they will help later on in their life. As the wood expands and contracts and the steel does not, the epoxy will lose its strength in a few years.

I hear boiled linseed oil always recommended the most for tools, but I just can not stand the smell. Is there a type that doesn't leave that smell all over the tool and all over your hands every time you touch it? Or what's the best alternative that won't smell?

Don't epoxy the handles on you cross drill a 1/8" hole in the Ferrell, wood handle and down into the all thread all the way acrossed then use a cotter key to lock everything into place or pen over a pin you can use animal hyde glue or wood glue to tighten the fit or drill the handle end hole under sized so you screw it on making a sort of tap end on the all thread with a file or grinder. A brass pin is plenty strong enough to hold the handle on as is a cotter key. And you can remove either of them to take the handles off at some point.even a wooden dowl will work.

I use homemade boiled linseed oil rather than the store-bought. Homemade doesn't have any extras added to it to speed up the drying. It's just a polymerized linseed oil. You can drink it if you want to. But if I use this stuff from the store I still use gloves.
