Finished 5 Shop-Made Clamps project shown

You don’t have to be woodworking very long before you run into situations where ordinary bar clamps just won’t get the job done. Woodworking catalogs feature a variety of specialty clamps but it’s hard to justify their price for occasional use. On the other hand with just a few small pieces of wood and some inexpensive hardware you can make your own special-purpose clamps. We’ve included plans for five styles: cam clamp edging clamp frame clamp deep-reach clamp and chair clamp.

What you get:

  • 13 printable (digital) pages of step-by-step instructions
  • More than 30 full-color photos and illustrations
  • 5 full-size patterns. Sources list
