Fixture Clamps - Let's make some

- In this video I make four fixture clamps for my fabrication table. These clamps are robust and adjustable for many different configurations.
I like to give credit when it is due. These clamps were based on the clamps that Andrii Pysarenko made in this video • DO IT MYSELF AND SAVE ...
Some advise on drilling stainless steel by Quinn from Blondihacks @08:38 - • Vise Stop! Let's Make ...
well done - 👏👏 those will be such a joy to use..... and if you're like me, every time I use something I've built from scratch, I get this weird warm feeling inside 😂
Yes, I have used them a lot. Thanks for watching.
Nice job yet again. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Thanks once again :)
This is a good explanation of how to build this kind of clamp -- I may need to build some of these. Thumbs up!
I've watched a Blacksmithing channel here on RUclips that often uses vinegar to "de-galvanize" nuts, bolts, & screws. He always does that _outside_ of his shop to avoid corrosion caused by the acid fumes/vapors. You might want to do the same. Mark Presling went into a lot more detail about the corrosion hazards from acid fumes/vapors in at least one of his videos.
Also, I don't mean to be a safety PITA, but you shouldn't wear your gloves around your lathe or any other machinery to avoid a glove getting snagged and pulling you in, probably breaking things you don't want broken. (There's at least one video on RUclips showing a Machinist getting snagged and nearly wrapped around the shaft he was turning - scary stuff!)
Thanks for your comments Bob. Yes, I have had an incident with the gloves when sanding a part in the lathe. I don't use gloves when sanding anymore.
Very versatile clamping system. Cheers.
Thanks
I like them. They work horizontal as well. Great job, a future project, dropped you a sub. Tony
Thank you Tony!
A great and inventive project
Thank you for watching
Awesome design!
Thank you. But, I cant take all of the credit as I got the idea from Andrii Pysarenko's video.
You definitely are creative, I certainly do like your design, very practical. Thank you for making the video
Thanks for watching. Some credit must go to Andrii Pysarenko as these clamps are based on his design.
I just discovered your channel. I see that you started youtube recently, so here' my sub. Keep up the good work and videos.
In no time the number of views will explode :-)
Thanks for subscribing. I actually came across you channel early this year when I was looking for ideas on making an arbor press (a future project I have on my list). You did a great job on that project.
Stainless grades vary, but if in doubt, you need to keep the stainless cool. So coolant. slower speed, and push through, don't rub. However clearly that wasn't too bad, some get so hard they will not cut afterwards.
Hi Ben, good advise thanks. In the end I went and looked it up and I could see that the speeds are a lot lower for stainless than steel. I think I was lucky that I stopped before it got really hard. But, it took me a few goes and drill bit sharpens to get through.
@@thehobbymachinistnz This is the way we learn! They look like very versatile clamps.
What spacing are the 16mm holes on your table?
I have seen some guys put then every 4 inches.
That seems like overkill to me.
Hi, thanks for your question. The hole spacings are 245mm x 190mm (approx 9 9/16 x 7 7/16). I had to make a rectangle hole pattern to miss cross beams and other bits and pieces like the plasma cutting drawer under the table.
The clamps I made can extend well over the center of the diagonal holes, so there is no need to have them any closer for my setup.
Yes, 4 inch spacings are probably overkill, unless there is a good reason for them. That spacing would make your table look like it was shot up with a machine gun...
I'm just as guilty about doing things the hard way, if that's any comfort.
Sometimes I over think things and miss the most obvious solution. Thanks for watching.
