    Thumbs up

    Very nice.

    Sturdee kindly gave me one of his clamps which I regularly use - great clamp.

    Darrell, maybe not fancy according to you but they look great. Well done.

    I have seen some homemade flip ( or cam ) clamps and will make some one day when I am looking for something to do. The ones I have seen have a steel bar and pins to stop the cam arm sliding when clamping pressure is applied. How well do yours work and how do you stop them sliding up the bar?

    The clamps work well. Usually I use them to clamp the bridge in place when gluing it on to a guitar body, hence the need for the lower jaw to have greater spacers than the top. It has to reach over internal braces. The pressure and friction of the upper jaw on the slide seems to be enough to leep everything in place. I have about twenty of these in a smaller size and frequently use them to hold sides in place when gluing cracks. No problem. I am told that this style can exert up to 300 lbs of pressure per sqare inch, which seems a lot to me.

    Please don't assume that Joe Lydon is a fair representation of what the U.S.A. has to offer! In fact he is equally as disliked in his own country.

    Check out this link.

    Indeed, Dusty. Many of us from "across the pond" just lurk (and view in awe the prolific output of homemade tools and jigs on this site!) Besides which, isn't "across the pond" an English phrase? Perhaps from "the states" might fit better.

    Sturdee, your posts are an inspiration, as are the others here. I've always had fun around Australians, who seem to have a great sense of humor and have the ability to use the English language in wonderous ways (and for some of my mates, that's especially true when they are cursing!) I've also always respected the resourcefulness you as a nation have that is reflected here; we Americans tend to think of the independent and self-reliant attitudes as uniquely ours, but you guys may have more of it than we do.

    So ignore the jerks from our side of the ocean ... we have a ton of them, and unfortunately, the Internet exposes more of them to the world than ever before.

    mate i love you clamps, the ones from the shops are expensive and not that great...would you have any sugestions on using the threaded rod for long clamps for glueing table tops , i was thinking of mounting a row of them to a frame which will sit vertical on a wall , this would be a lot easier to clamp the boards...

    Sorry, but I use pipe clamps for that. I attached rectangular pieces of chipboard to them.This makes them easier to use and stops any damage to the edge of boards from the metal clamps.

    I have a dozen of various lenghts and the chipboard pieces can be seen on the attached photo of part of my workshop.

    When boards are clamped up I put them aside against the wall.

    Try this link to my post on my workshop, which I did before my upgrade from a Triton WC to a TS.

    Still improving it , I suppose I'll never really finish it, always something new to incorporate. :eek: But it is fun and makes it an enjoyable place to be.

    Default Not all Americans are like this guy

    Hi,

    I just joined this forum to say HI from a fellow woodworked from the USA.

    Just in response to the Joe Lyndon guy that was not too friendly with you. Not all Americans are of that nature. Personally, I do not like it when someone from my country goes about and makes a bad name for those of us that would prefer to be friendly.

    I am not trying to justify Joe Lydons actions - they are uncalled for. Just to let you know, he has been making his rounds all over. Even in my home forum. http://www.woodworking.com/ You are welcome to visit anytime. I think we have a great group of people there, and our passion is woodworking - not bashing others.

    So - I am trying to show you that there are friendly and hospitable Americans too, not just arrogent ones.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Merry Christmas,

    Leo

    I fully agree that it has all been said before and I don't consider my seppo Joe to be representative of all Americans.

    But it is nice to know what happened to the fast action, big talking, high noting Joe, back to being just another joe.
