To the one handed bloke
I have Cerbral Palsy and have not been able to use my right hand since birth, somewhat like your situation. One thing that has helped me is a stanley workmate. As for the clamps, the best ones I have found so far are the one handed bar clamps, you had said you always need two hands for the clamps, well...start using your knees or I often have to prop things up in specific places to make the necessary clamp.
Your biggest challenge in woodworking now will be two fold, driving a nail and drawing a line with a tape measure
Good Luck

Hi All, I'm back again after too long an absence. I am finally getting some help to reclaim my workshop space and set up. I have also been able to get some equipment. Does anyone know any people or groups in Sydney that help disabled people. I need to set-up lots of clamps & holding mechanisms? Any ideas or leads will be most welcome.

There is an article by Andy King worth reading.
