Finally a Corner Clamp that Works - Make This - Free Plans!

[@JohnHeisz]

Get free plans for this project here: ibuildit.ca/projects/how-to-make-a-corner-clamp/ Unlike most of the ones you can buy, this one puts the clamping force exactly where it’s needed: across the miter, pushing it tightly closed. And you can make it in an afternoon from scraps and hardware you may already have.

[@fattynl]

Love the cinematography of this video!

[@tonywingert6178]

great clamp...made it....now one of the most used clamps in my shop. R. Prieto style cinematography mesmerizing. best video on yt.

[@donaldpowell7762]

You keep doing ingenious things we should have thought of, but didn’t. Thank you for thinking for us!

[@kennethlee8640]

Your my favorite "dangerous woodworker" on KZbin. Thanks for the always amazing content!

[@genewilson81]

Never disappointed, great content! When I saw the lighting, made me smile. Thanks for the plans.

[@sbichet31]

Without light, no need guard :-D

[@coreygrua3271]

Watching John work is like watching a very good artist paint a masterpiece. Every move is a delight and carefully, thoughtfully made. When he shares plans, with many at no charge, I rejoice and hope that someday I might reach John’s level of proficiency. I work wood with that hope. Thank you, Mr. Heisz.

[@jimanddeb]

You're a clever S.O.B, John. Thanks for taking the time to make plans

[@baconsoda]

Beautiful video... I found it really relaxing so I watched it again.... and then once more. That's a super clamp and well within the capability of an amateur, like me. Great job.

[@JohnHeisz]

Thank Brendan :)

[@arlingtonhynes]

I like the Heisz Noir style. I like the clamp idea too.

[@sebastienboisvert8561]

I love the way you solve problems and then share your solution with us on KZbin. Your clamps are well-designed and easy to make, even if you are a beginner woodworker.

[@duanehurley2105]

Not that I don't like hearing your voice or thought process, this video clearly speaks for itself. Love the style and format great video and build. I know you need likes and comments to drive revenue. I feel it's a shame that the algorithm lord's force content creators to use terrible thumb nail to attract attention. I like how nearly most of you put out doesn't resemble click bait. From one professional to another, thank you so much for what you do.

[@markshipman4864]

Kind of an artsy fartsy video, John. Very nice. Thanks for the plans.

[@Michael-co3sf]

Love the way you filmed this one. The shadows add a beautiful element.

[@rafvdp6391]

Great design and of course video. Took us back a bit at a time you where filming your video’s without talking. Loved how you incorporated the shadows. This video should do well, if you need a corner clamp this is it and everyone can make this. Well done John.👍

[@JamesDeese]

The engineering that goes into your builds is inspiring.

[@daifeichu]

This is great news. 'I Build It' has gotten the software update for darkmode. Back in the day before people had all these options for lighting there were guys in their home shop with a single 60 watt bulb hanging from a wire and that was it. Nice corner clamp. I'm gonna make one today. Thanks for putting it out there.

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Love it, that you change your light and video style, once in a while.

[@crushvapor1147]

Lighting is very cool and relaxing. The design - first one I've seen that actually puts pressure on the joint. John Heisz is awesome.

[@Yackhammer75]

Simple yet the best corner clamp I have ever seen. I love the shadow lighting effect of the video itself. Really draws the focus to where it needs to be to see and understand what you are doing. It's also just a really cool affect.

[@marquis2001]

An excellent plan and a beautiful video. You make this build look easy with few measuring marks. A note for beginners, take your time and use straight edges/squares to produce the very precise angles required--especially with the glue up (which can easily slide) and the bolts for the sliding part of the square (which need to be right in the center). Getting things precisely centered and squared will be the key to making this great piece.

[@MrVito456]

Keep the dramatic lighting up, it just brings a certain added beauty to your already outstanding craftmenship

[@thorjohnson5237]

Tip: cut 1/4" off the corner of the square. Then if glue squeezes out of the joint it won't stick to the inside clamp any more.

[@jimkownacki3629]

Woodworking After Dark, with John Heisz. Cool video, great clamp.

[@kmonnier]

Congrats on one million subs, I have been watching you for years and you deserve it. I always learn something when I watch your videos

[@vicf6509]

The shadow lighting and the interesting camera shots (foreground/background) made for a great video.

[@rodneydennis8665]

Love the new format. The shadows enhance your project, which is pretty incredible to.

[@jnjarvis1]

Love my Sunday morning treats from John. Going to the shop to replicate this now!

[@tyleru7094]

It's projects like this that inspire me to get back in the shop. Ingenious clamping method at the pointed side.

[@treynamy]

John, I sure hope you feel appreciated. You are a very talented carpenter/woodworker, and a very talented video producer. You are truly an artist, and I for one, greatly appreciate the content you provide. Thank you sir!

[@oleman490]

like it man;;no words just live action;;;lol;;no bs to cloud your brain from the work being done;;;;

[@luiscinacio]

Nice job, Thanks for the free plans John, greetings from Portugal

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Great project John. Fantastic videography and edit.

[@markpalmer3071]

That would have to be the best corner clamp I've seen. Nice video work too.

[@HardwayRanch]

Awesome! After a 20+ year hiatus from woodworking, I'm getting back into it and credit you for the motivation. Please keep sharing with us.

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

Love it! The filming looked very Avant-garde.

[@moro2711]

Amazing video! Your filming turned super pro super quick!

[@AJ-ln4sm]

Clever, straightforward, effective! Very nice

[@GeraldJensen]

A much better solution than anything I have ever used. Why didn't I think of this ... or why didn't you do this video sooner?!

[@charlieb2812]

Thanks for being an honest woodworker and allowing us to see the oops. The Noir style scares me though (don't like to not being able to see the blade). You always have great ideas for shop jigs.

[@thedistractedmaker]

Very nice John!

[@rudyantheus8171]

i am really agree with you john , its the very best way to do it !!! je suis vraiment d'accord avec vous , c'est la meilleure methode pour ca

[@jimwolfe1061]

A brilliant film noir change of pace.

[@xylemmelyx]

Yet again a clever idea presented beautifully.

[@greinsem]

This isnt a woodworking video, this is art

[@Mare0912]

Clever design! Very nice.

[@daviddwinters3698]

I like that idea. I'm going to make 4 of them . this summer I'll be putting my new table saw to good use.

[@lesneilson5632]

Excellent work again with some great thinking and wood shop action - so the time spent in the basement just works for you so keep it up

[@MrSoorajsurya]

Bloody amazing in its simplicity and ingenuity !

[@edwardsteward124]

Love the design and execution. Really liked the lighting choices and final edit. Well done. I'm sure others have and will make comment on what you "should" do but it's your channel and I feel privileged to enjoy it. Thank you John.

[@kennetha.douglas6282]

Excellent! I really learn a lot from your posts. Thanks, John/

[@jvmorse]

Excellent video John!

[@hassanal-mosawi4235]

Thanks for sharing those tips and the make!

[@Lessmedborgare]

Great project! Now added to my to do list. Thanks John!

[@patmash]

That was some nifty camera work john. Excellent corner clamp build.

[@markusaurelius6725]

Definitely adding this to my list of John-jigs to make

[@TimothyHall13]

Very artistic John. Thanks!

[@garycaruso4883]

Awesome clamp!

[@shaunbarrickman6339]

Dig the clamp and the video! Good work sir.

[@michaeltablet8577]

Great project and excellent videography!

[@russellmather3]

Thank you John!

[@carloscesar1202]

Thanks for sharing John, best regards from Mexico

[@craigsudman4556]

That's a real nice clamp John, great video thumbs up.

[@testbenchdude]

zOmG iT's SuPeR dAnGeRoUs to use you're table saw in the dark!!!1! That should about cover it I think. Neat project, can't wait to get back home from travelling and try it out! Thanks again Mr. Heisz.

[@shmiggz]

Nice job John!

[@richardmcniece4671]

Really liked the the video layout.

[@dougbeach7299]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. The dramatic angles and lighting makes me think of a Hitchcock movie. 👍🏼

[@ericfrisard2060]

Very well done !

[@ansky26]

That is, hands down, the best use of chiarascuro in a woodworking video ever. Great project and wonderfully over-the-top cinematography, too!

[@joebradley7595]

That's lovely looking ply

[@guillermosolanorosa1805]

Excellent idea!

[@madmanmikie]

Very nice and handy builds

[@gordonpromish9218]

I'll have to make a few of these. if I were to make any modification to this design, it would be to carve a channel beneath where the mitered joint is to rest, as clearance for any glue squeeze-out. I would also wax that whole thing to prevent bonding the workpiece to the tool, and to ease clean-up.

[@I_Do_Not_Know_What_I_am_Doing]

I have "Liked" a lot of your videos over the years, however, this one is especially good. Great production, shots, and edit. Real fun and a nice change (not that you need to change). Keep up the good work.

[@musicolocuaz3951]

Very good Idea. Thanks for share this.

[@will74]

Great project, yes, that's awesome... But can we talk about the level of edition this man has for a moment? This video is just something wonderful bc of the project and bc of the edition... I just Love it.

[@theobserver1219]

Thank you for your mentoring in all your projects! I'm always inspired! You are my reference! Thank you!

[@daki222000]

that is pretty smart design John. thanks for sharing. cheers.

[@natemorales5731]

Like the new clamp.....it just makes sense

[@duffjolly8745]

As. Always John. Amazing! Cheers

[@user-sb3wh3dd4v]

Interesting camera angles and lighting.

[@gregmislick1117]

Just noticed that your Ultimate F Style Clamp Plans are there now as well - COOL!, once I get where I can get them bought and downoaded, I'm on it !!

[@jhcampbell7528]

Thank you for sharing the great video and idea. And free plans!

[@dougfairburn2037]

you make it look so easy. thank you for all your projects.

[@AlBarathur]

Awesome idea!

[@chetleonard169]

Love the silence John. Classy AF, useful project. 5 *****

[@thegentlemanmaker]

Very smart, I like the style, the perfect end for a noisy/busy day for me.

[@MtnBike60532]

Looks like you were having fun with lighting and camera angles!

[@philipacovington]

I started to build one this morning. I also like the videography and editing you are doing lately. I am going to borrow some of those techniques for my videos!

[@markraisner9000]

Another great design.

[@CrimeVid]

Seems good John.

[@WoodandMetalGarage]

Excellent work on those plans. Also very generous.

[@zacharysmith3793]

This is a really unique clamp! Very smart. Enjoyed your editing thoroughly as well. Can always count on you for interesting ideas!

[@jdeadman]

That is actually perfect thanks and great quality on the edit

[@massimoscabin1893]

Idea molto utile, video fantastico,grazie John per condividere

[@jonathanrand7767]

I made 4 of these and like them a lot. I found them a bit cumbersome to store though so I bored recesses for the wingnuts in the moving blocks. The wingnuts are still easy to access and now the clamps stack nicely.

[@negotiableaffections]

Beautiful video, smart device and thanks for the plans John.

[@woodgrain8989]

Great video and design !!

[@petedillon8011]

Awesome video.

[@scottsh21]

Really enjoyed the style of this video. Well shot and edited. Something about the sound of the tools with cool lighting. Great jig too, but I think that goes without saying.

[@grizdeluxe]

Simple design. Thanks for this one!
