    What type of clamps do you use when working with corners on projects? Let us know in the comments below!

    I'm signing up for the Cole Canadian Clamp Camp. Great video. It's awesome how big your channel has gotten. I remember when...

    Bought 2 Can-Do clamps based on your review. Thanks!

    Good overview/comparison of the two clamps. I didn’t know about the Can-Do either but I’ll keep it in mind. It’s nice to know you can support it with a 3/4” scrap if you need to because it will make our lives much easier during assembly.

    • @MasonWoodshop

      Thanks Gary! It’s been a surprisingly great clamp so far. Depending on future projects, I can easily see myself having 4, or even 6 in the shop.

    So would one of each basicly do enough to make cabinets, or is multible of each a necesity? Also. Did you pocket drill free hand, or did you use some pocket drill guiding tool? Thanks✌️

      You could definitely get away with just one! I have two now and would like to add another two, but I used one for quite a few cabinets without issue.
      For pocket holes, I’ve been using the Kreg 720 Pro for a few years (Kreg K5 before that).

    Thanks for the video! I had never seen the can-do clamp. How are they each on marking or marring the surfaces?

    • @MasonWoodshop

      I hadn't heard much about the Can-Do clamp myself before coming across it when looking at some other MLCS products - I'm genuinely impressed with it!
      As for marking and marring, I'd say I've experience essentially none with the Kreg clamp and the MLCS Can-Do is still leaving a bit of red pain residue (easily brushes off), although I've only used it on a couple of projects so far. Nothing beyond that, thankfully! It still bothers me when I find little circular indentations on my early projects form some cheap f-style clamps.

    There's a lot of debate about accuracy of clamps like these, so it would have been more useful if you'd actually got a proper square-edge to check whether they're truly square rather than relying on checking it by eye.

    • @MasonWoodshop
      @MasonWoodshop  2 года назад

      That’s a great point, thanks for noting it! Squareness would be particularly important when working on something that’s exposed, such as shelves.
      For me, I don’t generally need it to be absolutely perfect as that often comes down to the joinery being used. If I’m doing a cabinet carcass, I don’t worry too much about being perfectly square until I have all sides joined and even then the top will add additional support to get perfect square.

    Both better than the HF strap clamps I bet? Now I have to go out and buy more clamps.

    • @MasonWoodshop
      @MasonWoodshop  3 года назад

      Haha, definitely better than those unwieldy strap clamps! Although, I'm planning to scoop up one of those MLCS "Merle" band clamps...basically a strap clamp that's less chaotic.

    • @johndesormier8099

      I have had the Merle clamp for 20 years and it is really handy when you need it. The Can Do clamps do seem to be a better solution, however.

    I need to look into a 90* clamp. My go-to is just using spring clamps and a speed square- both of those look preferable to my method 😂

    • @MasonWoodshop
      @MasonWoodshop  2 года назад +1

      Oh wow, I should have highlighted the speed square and clamps approach…done that far more often than I’d like admin. Haha
