What To Do If Your Clamp Isn't Long Enough

"The other day I was working on a wide plank tabletop, which was a project that was too large for my clamp. We’ve all been there - where you don’t have exactly the tool you need so you have to improvise and work with what you have. While many clamps are adjustable, they can only go so far. This made me wonder, what do you do if your clamp isn’t long enough? From here, this idea was born for a DIY solution that can extend your clamp to nearly any length you want.
The solution is to essentially build a clamp extension that ""stretches"" ordinary clamps to any length. It’s easy, doable, and reusable for any time you need it in the future. In this video and blog, I’ll outline step-by-step how to make the extension from wood and exactly how to use it. "
