Crazy Easy Homemade Bar Clamps | DIY

love it, cheap as chips and easy to make.

Finally an easy self explanatory glue up method..I will be doing this tomorrow 👍

Thanks a lot. I'll make my glued outside barn door with pieces of (2 X 4) + 2 holes and a wedge to glue the inside panels together. Why buying shits that are way too expensive when your job is to deal with problems with wood.

Thanks Izzy

Nice. I wish i would have seen this before I spent 120 bucks on the Rockler clamping system

I’ll save money now after watching this video, thank you 😊

Such a great idea and easy to make,thanks

Awesome. Got to build these today as I have a panel to glue tomorrow. @Izzy : what would you recommend as the finished thickness of each of the top and bottom boards? 1" thick each? Thanks for all your inspiring videos.

❤

So simple and absolutely genius! Love all your stuff man 👊👍👍

Simple and good.

Pure genius

Wow, impressive and such a great vibe in the vid!

That is fantastic! A few less clamps needed, I was wondering how I was going to afford all those clamps😮. Thanks for the very useful information.

Better

Very nice, especially for people who don't want to spend hundreds on clamps for one or two projects. Thanks for sharing!

💪💪💪

well that's some low tech brilliance!

Very beautiful.

I love these. Seen a lot similar and you made them easy. Indo like your show.

old school is best! TY!!

I see this is 4 years old! How in the world did I miss this. I'm going to build one today. Thanks so much for your content. Although some of it is a little intimidating for a dummy like me to make, it is awesome content. I hope you don't get tired of making these videos!

Wedge the top.

I have been looking at different clamping methods for a couple of months now and see all kinds of overly complex systems and the need for a ton of clamps to do anything but this is A W E S O M E.

I know what my next project will be so I can move on to some of the other stuff I've been wanting to build.

What is the attachment used on the drill ?

Heck I've just saved a stack of money thank you so much

I'd suggest moving to the next hole and using a thicker wedge so that it's easier to tap out when your glue dries.

60 years a joiner and never seen these .

Wouldn’t the glue come out and adhere to the clamps then?

Great, I had never seen these before

Much thanks for this one! Good to know the "old ways" aren't dead!

I am on a fixed income and this clamping system is exactly what I need. Thank you!

What is that accordion-style multiple hole marking tool called?

I need a bunch of clamps for a one-off project, so was looking for some diy options so I don't have to spend hundreds. This might not be best option. All I need to do to build my own 25 quid clamp is 1000 quid worth of tools. And then a clamp :D I can see appeal of this, but I'll just see myself out.

A Festool style MFT pretty much has this built in.

I made these and I waxed everything EXCEPT the wedges to prevent glue sticking ,the wedges don’t jamb in, they keep slipping out. Is it because of the wax or do the wedges have too much angle?

oh buddy!!! have i ever needed this one!! i like wood working but clamps arnt cheap and this was exactly what i needed. thank you!

Makin those today. Canadian moved to Sierra Leone full off grid beachside / jungle livin
