As I was working with my kerfing/lining clamps the other day I was reminded of the interesting story of how I got them. I instantly knew this was something very important that I needed to share with you.

When i was first married and, buying a home, car payments and having babies, i did the same thing for many of my tools. once a week after parday, i would buy one or two hole saws until i completed the set, then on to forstner bits and so on. though i could now afford to purchase what a need when i need it, i look back at those days with great fondness. Thanks for sharing your story and i like the solid linings instead of kerfing when possible. BTW, i have over 40 of those 1" pony spring clamps and they are strong and must be used with caution as to not damage the wood.

More good info Tom, Thanks! You've convinced me to go to solid kerfing.

A biblical principal: Proverbs 29:18 King James Version (KJV) 18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Habakkuk 2:1-3 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) 2 I will stand upon my watch and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what He will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run that readeth it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak and not lie. Though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come; it will not tarry.
