Make These Clamps And Save Hundreds of Dollars - Woodworking

Awesome design thank you for sharing… I will make a ton of these in different lengths etc.

Dude. Man. My guy. Can we be friends? Can I be your, “this guy always buys me beers and asks me shit about woodworking.” Friend?

Like, I’ll drive. I can cook pretty good too. I love board games but if you don’t, forget that shit, but if you do, bro you gotta see my board game wall.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

To be honest with that amount of wood , be cheaper here b in Finland to buy them what with the cost of wood now

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.

so to make a clamp, i have to make a different type of clamp first!

jokes aside.... i love it!

I made two of them!! Thanks, John, plans were great and they work a treat.

The wood costs more than clamps these days

Imperial units are so insufferable though

Just curious.... do you know Chef John from the channel Food Wishes?

Thank you for taking time, this was very informative, will enjoy this channel. Lol. The one video shot looked like Jenga extravaganza..

there are so many wooden clamps in this vid!

Cool video... but title gives someone searching for budget clamp options the wrong impression lol. I'm starting my wood working journey, saw this, got excited... the realized if I had ten thousand dollars of equipment needed to make these.. it wouldn't bother me to spend the $50 for the clamp set at Lowes.

Why not use a marine ply wouldn’t that be strong enough I’m not criticising I was just wondering

Great videos! The bonus is your good voice!!

Fabulous 🙏🇦🇺

I really like your style and inventiveness, really well done

I am very proud of you indeed . Your skills are to be taught . Well done .

With the price of wood today and the time, I could buy some and use the saved time making something I really want and use

If I had one ounce of this guys ingenuity I’d be golden, John you’re a wizard!!

Creating assets to create assets

don't have 1/2 the tools needed to make them. I'll just buy them.

Mind blown! Way out of my ballpark, but I really enjoyed the watch!

On the nailer - I recommend keep all body parts at least the length of the nail away from the nailer nose. Imagine a sphere centered on the nose of the nailer, with radius of the length of the nail. 1" nail? Keep at least 1" away from the nose. 2" nail? At least 2 inches away. It'll keep from having unintended body piercings.

what wood did you use?

Sweet :) Respect 👊🔥

That DIY sander got me more excited than it should have XD

Thank you very much I never thought of making my own clamps but I have been getting tired of purchasing them and they do cost a lot of money this is going to save me a ton of money

I like your table saw... can you provide the manufacturer and model number?

I am surprised you didn't just up the size of the breaker.

Those clamps are very nice and in several ways better than steel clamps. First, steel is hard; it's possible when swinging steel clamps around that you accidentally knock your project and leave a nasty dent. Less likely with wood. Second, steel clamps are heavy and have a greater chance of overpowering and throwing your project off balance. Third, it's satisfying for the ego and the pocketbook to make them yourself. Yes, they may not exert as much clamping force as steel does, but you simply don't need as much clamping force as steel gives; more force is not better.

Dude really buy 2x8s to make 2x4s..

Very brave of you John... taking on Big Clamp like this! 😁 Excellent work... liked and subscribed and added to my ever growing project queue!

My goood!!!

I cringed a few times when you were using the table saw. Not very safe way of working.

They're giving them away at estate sales.
Just bought 4 vintage
¾"x4' pony clamps for $5 bucks.

Thank you so so much.

You must have all the free time in the world! 🙄

I'm waiting for the "how to build a car out of wood" video..

AMAZING

Is this Santa?
Awesome video.

That’s not peening

FANTASTIC MAN! thank you!

do you cook?

But what clamped the clamps that clamped the clamps?

Lots of wasted time making wooden clamps, buy the steel type clamps .....time is money!

this is very good, but first let me have thousand dollar power tool
this idea is for someone who want to make a big party furniture, so no more buy clamp thumbs up
