    You’ve made a lot of clamp videos, and I’ve gotten something useful from every one of them. These look great, and I hope I can get around to making them soon. I was so happy with the “cut, drill, sand, etc.” montage; I really didn’t need to see all that in detail again. Thanks for good projects and good videos.

    11:00 that strut looks to be a great idea!
    I hope that the bottom block glued in on the end grain won't pop out, but I'm sure you've thought of that!
    I'd like to see a test on how much the long bar bends under normal clamping forces.

    I have seen other makers do similar clamps, but most of them involve welding. Thank you very much for showing some that do not require welding. I might actually be able to make these eventually. It’s hard to see how that wedge actually works, but other than that this was amazing.

    @skipanardoross6805 9 месяцев назад

    Thank you for sharing. My comment is not about clamps but about the ripping only half way through the stock. I do that all of the time and I'm convinced that it is easier on the saw. However, I'm sure that I've heard at least one content creator say differently so I've questioned my experiences with doing so. It was good to hear someone else agree. Because I have a lot of rough stock that the saw doesn't have the capacity to through-cut, I have quite a bit of experience with it but, I also know that I can be quite proficient at being wrong. It is definitely safer. In fact, since often I have only an edge and face milled, I may send the stock through twice leaving only a small amount left to cut once the stock is flipped. I then lower the blade to barely remove what's left. That way, any variation is minimal and will mill out easily.
