Peter
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...

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.

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
