Cheap, portable and the best thing is, you'll never think "Now, where did I put that clamp?!?"

Thinking the patented haemmeroid clamp, or splinters in the clamp, large family you have an assortment of sizes for different jobs:rolleyes:

what jig do you use for sharpening the yellow handled "emergency' chisel??

sorry that one went straight over my head ...:)

unless you're referring to the screwdriver-looking object on the floor - its actually a very nice narrow chisel!

[Clinton1]

Yep, thats the one... the 'emergency' chisel. :D

Anyway, excuse me for being completely ignorant, but why are you mortising the neck of the double bass (??? I assume thats what it is).... what goes into there?

Is it for the pegs for the strings?

[contrebasse]

yeah that's where the ends of the strings go. Great big machine heads screw onto the sides.

Hey, great clamp can I borrow it for a while? Just come over and park it on top of some stuff I'm gluing up.:p ;)
