Easier Homemade Bar Clamps

- My Premier Project Plans: paskmakes.com/premier-project...
Plans for this project can be found here: paskmakes.com/free-plans/
These clamps are an easier and cheaper to make version of steel clamps I made a while ago. While not being quite as heavy duty as the steel clamps they still have plenty of clamping pressure for any glue up and they should still last for years.
I've made plans for these clamps as that got requested a lot, for the original clamps. The plans took a lot of work to put together as I've not made plans before, other than quick and dirty sketches for my own use. Unfortunately I didn’t make plans for the original steel clamps but I think these plans could be of help if you wanted to make those ones.
The other thing I got asked was how much they cost - these clamps cost $10AUD probably a little cheaper elsewhere in the world.
I'm more than happy to answer any questions.
The plans can be found here paskmakes.com/free-plans

I too watched a great deal of long bar clamp videos here, and by far this is the best over-all in my opinion. Well done man, well done! I really like your approach on all your vids, and your narration is always very well said and intelligent. Thanks for your efforts.
Awesome video! I'll probably never make a set like that, but it was great to watch.
First i looked at Amazon for these clamps. Prices for good clamps were too high. Then i tried diy on RUclips for these clamps. I was luck after many videos i came across this one. So far this seems like the best plan. I loved it and they seem the strongest diy clamps home project. I am definitely making them this summer. I will come back here and leave more comments about its performance.
Thanks every one.
Brilliant. I want to make bar clamps and virtually gave up watching videos here, where everyone uses lot of welding and metal working skills. To my surprise, i discovered this video, where without welding, you have shown how a good quality bar clamps can be made. Thanks
No worries - glad it was helpful! :)
Dear brother pask I showed this video and seen how you worked hard may god bless you and your family also I thought your work is not only for your family but all of humanity this shows how browd hearts of your god raised are always in your heart thanks for this gift your brother from India sumit gupta
Easy is relative word particularly when it comes from you😀😀 when I watch your video I get feeling of person who is learning to ride bike but watch someone flying spaceshuttle 🙂
Very cool. Nice work indeed.
Will get some steel and make a pair of these clamps for sure. Thank you for sharing.
Good looking and simple to build clamps along with a good video on the build !
Pretty awesome things. Ideal because you can build them to a desired length. Great video Neil 😉
I have enjoyed all your videos in a mini marathon watch today and subscribed. I like the fact that they are so visual and sound is optional. The content is pretty darned good too! Tim
Thank you very much - I'm very glad you enjoyed them!
you are a very clever crafts man and i really enjoy watching and learning from you thank you for posting all your hard work. I love how you are very neat and macticulous with your work and do the job well the first time. Gilly b
I honestly think that there is nothing that you can't make!!!!
Everything you do is brilliant. Inc your videos. Can't wait to see you build a wooden V8 engine. Then at the end youll explain how pleased you are as it even runs cooler and quieter than a standard V8
Happy new year, and thanks for the videos 👍
Congratulations, you are a genius, you have done an outstanding job!
Awesome mate! Thanks so much for this video and for the quality plans. You're a legend!
No worries Dan! Thank you :)
This is so easy to build at home and can do any type of vice clamp small to big size are best with save your own home made wood tools and you did an awesome job on projects keep it up buddy
Unlike other comments I've read... I do find them an easy build. Engenius use of the all-thread/half nut for the backstop! As I have just started watching your channel in last week or so I see ways that you and I have a lot of the same mindset on ways to build. Sorry once again for not being able to give $ to you for your effords! I REALLY do give thanks for the inspirational ideals! PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK NEIL!.....God Bless......Joe frm Ky USA
I just started watching your channel. I'm very impressed on how you make your pieces, and how affordable you do it. Thanks for providing good education
Thank you very much! :)
Great video again Pask mate. I'm really enjoying these videos now pal. I will have a look at the PATREON sdoon too pal. I think the fact u give free plans on ur website speaks volumes for u as a content creator so I will get looking at ur patreon this weekend as a thankyou.
A thousand thanks: for sharing the video series, I really like your ideas, if you are creative in your own style, and I consider it of great value. Shalom. From Norway.
That´s very kind of you share those plans... I will try it, thanks!!
No worries!
Beautiful work!!
I get so many great ideas from your videos, thank you so much for sharing. I tell my wife, "I have to make a tool to use to make the tool I need to make the project".
No worries James! :)
Pask, you know it, the best tools in a shop are the ones you made as a nessisicity, LOL, it's all good......
The revolutionary power of DIY. Great and ingenious ways to figure out things. Congrats.
Very fast and yet no bandages required. Thumbs up.
Watched a lot of videos on making clamps. This version seems to be the best and simplest I seen.
É muito complicado
I like the fact that the all-thread is on the underside. Good that glue squeezing out during panel glue ups won't foul the threads.
Thanks Robert! When I first thought of the idea I had the threaded bar on top (in my mind) - but I quickly changed that for the reason you state.
Those look excellent!
That is awesome. I think I am going to make the first version ones since I own a welding machine. But these ones are nice for people who don't own one ;) I would recommend putting a pin through the end piece as the epoxy alone might not hold it too well. Good job!
Thanks good to know someone else might make them. I put in my plans that I originally thought I would have to put a bolt through the head but its quite a large glue surface and I don't see that failing. Cheers.
Great video, no talk, no bs just show , thanks good job!
The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time 😉 Great bar clamps Pask.
Thanks Martin! :)
Great clamps, congratulations! Thanks. Stay with God, you and your family.
Thank you!
Thanks for posting video and the plans. I am just getting into making cutting boards and a 24" version of thses wpold be perfect. Thanks again.
No worries! I'm pleased to have helped.
Awesome Clamps
G'day from South Australia, Great video, downloaded the plans for these clamps and am going to make a couple of pairs in the next couple of weeks. You are right handed like I am so can I make just one suggestion, when you hacksaw anything off in the vice you cut it on the right hand side of the vice not the left (unless you are left handed) the reason is: when you cut through and the saw jumps forward, you won't punch the vice with your knuckles, but you can on the left side.
Thanks mate! Glad to hear you’re going to make the clamps. It’s a good point with the hacksaw, but many of the things I do is determined by where I can get the best camera angles. You wouldn’t believe some of the positions I get myself into to get the right shot !😉
Had a feeling it was camera angle issue.
G’day from a Brit in Texas. Nice vid as always. Lots of ideas put to work.
I love your video man. And the PDF plans? Wow! Thanks a lot Pask. I also looked at our Instagram page. Great stuffs.
Pask never disappoints
Thank you for videos and free plans! I leave like & follow!
Se aprecia mucho con cuanta dedicación esta hecho el trabajo, muchas gracias por compartir esto!!
Gracias Jose! :)
Awesome design! I'll be grabbing the plans.
Interested to see if the epoxy on the lock half nuts holds up over time... I was thinking when you added the lock nut support plate, what if welded the half nut to the support plate with a couple of tack welds, and rely on the support plate to hold the nut? With or without the epoxy...
man thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!!
Thank you for that video and thank you very much fore those plans. Júlíus
No problem!
Great video. Thanks.
Great job 👊🤓
These look great, I hope I can make some someday! One thing I don't understand though - how is the clamping pressure supported on the handle end? It looks like the whole clamping force goes through the bar to wood epoxy joint - have I missed something or will that joint be stronger than I imagine it is?
How Aussie!. Listening/watching the cricket in your shed to the cricket!
I heard Mark Taylor's voice at one point in the video. Must have a TV in there because he's only on channel 9 and he wasn't spruiking airconditioners in the sound grab I heard.
Yes that was Mark Taylor - I normally listen to audiobooks while I'm in the shed but the tv goes on when there's cricket.
Excellent job, thanks for sharing
No worries! :)
This is my favorite video on making your own clamps! Just curious now, two years later, have you had any trouble with the threaded rod detaching from the bar? How well does that construction adhesive work?
Nice clamps, well made.
Are they as strong or close enough to the other clamps you made
I think, as you say 'close enough'. They aren't as robust as the steel clamps but still plenty strong enough.
Very crude looking clamps, but if they work I guess that's all that matters. I think this would be a great project for someone who is just starting out and don't have a lot of money to spend on tooling up the shop. This would be a great stop gap to acquire some clamps for not a lot of expense.
Look rock-solid to me, friend! Nice thinking!👍
Thank you! :)
Many thanks for the plan, I will make one.
A lot of work, but they came out great.
I'm subscribing.
and I clicked the like button.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your plans! I imagine it's easier to build the clamps than to create the instructions for others to use!
Subbed, following in IG and looking forward to seeing more of your work! I'll make these clamps when my shop is better put together. Proper wiring today!
Thank you! The plans did take a lot of work as that was a whole new process for me.
NICE. Looks like a good idea.
I think these would help to glue solid boards together for edge to edge and give them a good flat surface to lay on.
Awesome!!!
thank you sir. For this work...
Brilliant!
a lot of work and specialized tools involved !!!
Yes there was some effort involved but I didn't use any tools that I would term specialised. Thanks for watching.
love your work
Thank you!
good job Master, good idea, thanks
It looks like it was a lot of fun, thanks.
Yes, it was! :) Thanks for watching!
For locking nuts supports U shape - you can drill and cut sides with angle grinder. This is the easiest way to achive U shape cut in metal 😉
Saw The Mighty Boosh t-shirt and hit like :) but was also a great video very cool idea.
Thanks! No better reason to hit like!
Good video Past! One question, the plans that appear on your page as free I cannot download them. Is it because of something I do wrong or if or if I have to make a donation? Thanks.
You did everything besides growing the pine tree and making glue out of horse bones!
You never know!
And finding and smelting the metal to form into tools ? ;)
where did you get that rod, which has screws' pitches over it?
Nice.
I wonder how well those cut nuts held up over time?
Im thinking of making these myself but using a recessed strip of threaded rod where you put the nut.
good work
Nice clamps Neil and an easy process to follow, but, being a little critical, bar clamps are usually, not always but usually put under a lot of tension, at least the way I use them. The handle part of the screw design is just not going to cut it, I’m sure you have a thick skin and understand!
Always nice to see Mighty Boosh fans.
Good job
I found your channel only today. Looks like quite a lot interesting videos to look at.
Thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge.
No worries Hans! :)
Thank you for sharing it was a good video
good job and thanx for plans
No worries!
BRAVO MAESTRO,GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR !!!!!!
Gracias!
Just might have to have a crack at these seeing as it's Christmas holidays and I have the time to play lol
Go for it! Merry Christmas!
Are you building these outside of an Indy race?
Love the F1 car sounds :P
Lightning McQueen.
What F1 sound? (7:10) Oh. That!

Hi pask, nice clamps! How are those glued on half nuts holding up? Is the glue sufficient strong? Thanks for sharing man!
Thanks Sebastiaan! The half nuts are still going strong - I don't see them failing as they don't have anywhere to move. :)
Thanks for sharing.

What is the technical term for removing a nail embedded in wood? Clavotomy or clavectomy? I suppose the first if you damage the wood a lot, the second if it's more like the keyhole surgery at 4:20.
That’s terrific thanks
Those are rad!
Cheers!
What kind of glue did you use for the thread rod
thanks its very helpfull.
How parallel are the faces under clamp loads?
hows the construction adhesive holding up?
Thanks for sharing...I just have one huge question...maybe I’m coming to it from a naive place...I watched a lot of clamp videos...the part that I don’t get is the clamp blocks at the end...why does everyone cut multiple pieces of wood to glue them together to form a thru hole for the rod to be inserted in it...would it make more sense to just take a block of wood and notch an either round or square hole to make the rod slide thru???
No worries! The main reason is I reckon its easier to make from parts! :)
Good stuff Bro! Are u worried about them flexing or bowing since they're ply and pine wood? Just wondering.
Thank you! No worries with these clamps they work great and are solid! :)
Great idea for the clamps. And excellent Mighty Boosh shirt :)
Thanks! Love the Boosh!
That took forever, but nicely done 👍🏼
