Honestly that intro with you talking while flipping that clamp around was enough for a like.
I was demonstrating how to quickly open and close it :)
I have purchased tools from Taylor Tools in the past. Their prices are competitive and customer service is great. I always look for the nice deals they have for sale.
Just saw this. I have some my Dad gave me years ago and yes, they are the first I reach for thanks for getting the information out.
Very handy dandy. I can see how that would make my wood clamps even mor useful. BTW, if you don't mind me adding this, wrapping the slick wooden handles with hockey tape as per Rob Cosman means you can really get a good grip and honk down on the pressure. Thanks to Taylor Tools for sharing, and you James for posting.
Wood screw clamps are the most under-appreciated clamps.
They can generate more clamping force than any other, the power they can apply is really incredible.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm a HUGE fan of the first 8 seconds of this video. The rest was also very useful and informative, But the way you started this sequence was an act of brilliance, and I appreciate you for it.
Retired cabinet naker and I've had my screw clamps for years that have been modified. I also always buy clamps in pairs and at one time Jorgenson sold handscrew clamp kits which I have made to suit, and can make dogs to suit, great for odd shape matetial. Thankyou Stumpy!
In my area we always referred to screw clamps as Jorgensen clamps. Kinda like the jello brand.
@@adgieem1 interesting, I have bar, C, F, pipe, edge, and also go bar clamps. Can be a real joy to have so many , but can alwzys make wgat you need when you need them. Redi rod ( threaded) and nuts can adapt, easy jigs and even a scissor car jack, no limits, all of the ancient machibes from the Egyptian 's. Bought a router screw cutting jig from Beal, can make any clamp to suit the need. Enjoy your adventure! Best wishes.
I've been buying from Taylor Toolworks for a few years now. Been very satisfied with my purchases. I bought two of the 6" clamps kits from Mike. The instructions were excellent and it was a fun project. I didn't make the modifications you showed in the video. Next time I order from Taytools I'll pick up another pair of clamps!! :)
I just did most of those mods with my Japanese pull saw and a chisel since I couldn't get the clamp apart. Already more, better, gooder than before. Awesome!
Don't recall where I first got this idea but I can attest these mods are very useful. Been using them like this for maybe thirty years. Goodonya to Taylor for making the kits available. When I made mine, I think I used the old Jorgensen set. Over the years, I've needed two several times and three, once. I've never needed four.
Old timer: I’ve seen just about everyth…
Stumpy: Hold my drink
Holy crap, I didn't realize Taylor Toolworks was like an hour away from here! I know what I'm doing next weekend!
You've been on a roll lately with some great videos, Stumpy. Thanks!
I stumbled upon the idea of using a screw clamp as a vise a year or so ago. I figured I wasn't the first one to discover it so I'm kinda proud of myself for figuring it out on my own and now seeing all the different ways of doing it.
That's what we often did in the shop. Lay 1 clamp on the bench to hold the piece, and hold that clamp down to the bench with another. We actually very rarely used the bench vise.
Support Taylor Tools!!!! Been using them for about a year and a half now. Great people.
I'm just finishing my pair of these modified 10" clamps. It's a cool project. I found some really nice former pallet hardwood that I made my clamps out of. I just need to epoxy the handles on and put a finish on the wood. Thanks for providing the suggestion and source materials.
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
Another great tip James and Taylor tools.
Best tool tip in a long time. U don't need the longitudinal vee grove to go past the 1st screw unless you'll clamp in the vee at the base of the clamp.
You don't need it to, but it's easier to rout or cut the whole thing rather than making a stopped cut.
First - dang what a great set of ideas! Secondly - I'm a trucker from the midwest. Rarely do I get as far south as I-70 west of St. Louis, but last week I was. While cruising along, I looked to the north of I-70 and what did I see? "TAYLOR TOOLWORKS" and a group of people coming in to work. I know this company! And I tooted my air horn...
Thank you for the info on taytools making a kit
Incredibly simple changes, yet still brilliant! You could also put pegs in the holes and clamp things with the pegs. The next project I work on will need a few of these, just not sure when I'll be able to get that project going.
If you sized the holes to match your bench dog holes, a longer dowel could be made that let you secure the clamp to the bench by the dog holes. Not super secure, but could be handy.
That's what I was expecting when I first saw the extra holes. Add bench dogs and you can clamp any arbitrary shape between them.
You can also use them on round fit ups and as spreaders.
You are always opening new doors of knowledge and technique for me, James Hamilton. I could write a musical about all the help you’ve selflessly given to the world’s woodworking community. I’m thankful for your teaching on this eve of Thanksgiving. God bless you.
Totally agree.
Seems like you could do a quick tongue-in-groove glued joint to add extra heel to existing wood clamps, to provide that extra area needed for that last hole.
I built clamps like these from kits over 40 years ago and still use them regularly. The only challenge is sometimes finding the correct size stock for the clamps. Mine came from recycled pallets.
Again, you knocked it out of the park! Taylor Tools is a wonderful business as well... I can't work in my shop for 10 minutes without using at least one tool I purchased from there. James, thank you have a wonderful holiday with your family-- best Thanksgiving advice I ever got "Eat slow pack it tight"
Thank you, Mr. Nubs!
Great video, been using clamps since about 1971.
I don't recall seeing this mod but it great.
Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!
SAVED! I've wanted a set of these clamps for a while now but the price never felt right. the kit is cheap and I get to build my own, THANKS
What a great idea to modify a wonderful wood clamp. Thank you for sharing this with us today. Stay warm, safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
These guys might have invented the 'better mouse trap' with these clamp mods. I do love Taytools (have a bunch of their stuff) and think it is awesome you support them. Now I have your link to use.....SCHWEET
Go James, and ty Taylor Tools, I love my adjustable dog stop (not sure exactly what its real name is). Got it after a cheap tools for Christmas video James put out last year. Bookmarked the link.
Great idea
Im so glad I saw this as I've got some upcoming projects that these will be perfect for. Wooden clamps are a must in every shop.
Very, very clever. Thanks
That's just brilliant, James! Thanks! 😃
I would love to find a kit like that here in Brazil!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Good job James, thanks for sharing. Fred
super useful thanks! i’ve also used these clamps to stretch out new shoes that are slightly too narrow! 😂
I used one of my clamps to make a micro adjustable table for the laser in the shop. I hot glued one jaw to a 1-foot square piece of plywood and the other jaw to another piece of plywood. This way the two pieces of plywood could move independently. This was very effective for lining up the laser to a distant point. I used hot glue because the clamp belonged to my grandfather (I am 66), so it was very old.
I have bought numerous times from Taylor Tools, great prices, quality and service. I made some of their kit hand screws recently, fun project, with enough challenge to make interesting. I didn't see this video before, but will be ordering more so I can make the modified version demonstrated here.
In addition to clamping, the holes fitted with pins also allow jacking things apart. I use this method for opening molds.
Dubuque makes kits for hand screw clamps. Lee Valley sells them.
4 clamps, 2 6" and one 12" kits ordered; thanks Stumpy!
I someone builds their own - drill the holes in the end of the heels before cutting the angle on the top of the toe. That'll give extra support to help keep them vertical if you're using a drill press.
Great tip. Thank you.
I ran a steel strip down the outside of mine, welded the nuts to it, and have no regrets. I haven't broken one since.
They must float though, so they need to be clean and waxed.
Also need around an inch of room between the same side ones otherwise they overlap and add extra angle to the rod.
wow this is awesome
Love that they let us do the wood ourselves ml
Very ingenious, they deserve all the credit they get and more.
Excellent video & I am definitely bookmarking that link to Taylor Toolworks! Thanks! 👍👍
Wow...very nice idea...I just ordered two kits from Lee Valley...and today I saw your video...I"ll copy your ideas...
Thanks and congratulations from Brazil
Fantastic.
I had 4 sets of similar Pony clamp kits left from my Dad’s shop. So, I built up 4 sets of jaws for my brother and me using Black Walnut and Maple from trees I cut down.
When assembling the last one, I found that I had 3RH and 1 Lh nuts. Of course, the threads from Pony were an oddball size, so I can’t easily make a new nut.
With your link, I ordered a new kit. Hope the nut bodies have the same diameter. Thanks.
I'll definitely be getting some of these kits. Thanks!!
Thanks for the video and it's great that Taytools sells the kits. I just picked one up and the instructions are clear. The only issue are the three sizes of drill bits needed are not very common. A 19/32" brad point or 15mm. A 13/32" or 10mm brad point and a #33 wire gauge drill bit. Couldn't have these holes been done with more common size bits?
Just to be clear, Taytools is a great store to get tools. I've bought from them a few times and will buy from them again but just to find the drill bits is a pain in the rear.
Exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks
Thanks 👍
I’m the type of person who would just buy the tools and use them on projects. Especially clamps bc I don’t see the value making them. But this one I may make it. It seems like a fun little project.
Neat mods! Thanks Stumpy and Taylor!
Great Content again James. I'll put it on the list of things to do ( And soon). I use my clamps quite often.
Love your work 👍
Huh. Those are really clever ideas! Thank you (Mike) for making the video!
Great video Mr Hamilton 👍👍
Brilliant as always.
Great tips!
Very cool tool!
Great stuff, thanks
WOW! What a great idea. Thanks
Brilliant! As an hobbyist woodworker without a proper woodworking bench, I use these type of clamps all the time. I also have the matchfit clamps and use them often. The two together never crossed my mind. THANK YOU!
I use this type of clamps regularly. Thanks for the tips !
Awesome video, I just ordered 2 10" kits. These will be super useful and fun to make
Awesome idea. Thanks for the tips and the links I will buy a couple kits to build this.
Very cool been thinking about making my own. This is a great mod.
Hey James this is super cool and thanks for bringing this to us but I'm gonna need you to show me how to properly use the clamps to begin with. I can never make them work quite the way I want.
Thanx, Stumpy, for everything I've learned thru your generosity to this craft and all these craftsmen. I am a "lurker"; watching, reading, borrowing and stealing now and then. Bookmarked Taytools: need a Narex knife kit or two. Like the clamp hardware kits; gotta have some custom hardwood modified !!
Always good content. This is a perfect one for me, thank you.
Very clever modifications, thanks much! I shop Taylor's, good stuff
Hi Stumpy, They Re-Invented the Wheel, Why didn't I Think of That, >Joe, Baltimore MD.
Superb
Looks great. I don't want to make my own. Somebody sell me a pair.
awesome!!!!!
I've been using these hand clamps in these various configurations for years, but I've been using C clamps to hold them down and as you say they get in the way. Can't for the life of me think why I never thought of using my fence clamps ( which only get used once in a while anyway) Thanks to Taylor tools and yourself for highlighting this 'mod'. I think I'll just get a set of kits from Taylor tools and build a couple of dedicated clamps.
Very interesting idea 💡👍🤠💯
Jorgasin clamp work so good.
great thanks
thanks
I purchased the kits and used a bit of maple to make the clamps. I think I will be able to use them around my small shop. One thing that folks may want to know is that the instructions call for a 21/32, a 15/32 and a #33 drill bit. These are not the most common size and I ordered which cost more then one of the kits. Why would they not make them for 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch and 1/8 buts which are much more common. Maybe poor design. I think the more common sizes might work but I am a direction follower. Also check the 15 degree drilling angle that the instructions call for as I think it should be more like 4-5 degrees.
Happy Thanksgiving 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🦃🤘
I have 2 of these clamps that sit and wait for their turn, they always come out in the most random times, and they are the only ones that can do the job.
Not this time I picked up two of them clamped about 5 years ago use them once and then they ended up chucked at the top of the shelf and I don't think they've ever been taking down since lol
Great video though and I must say I do like the idea so maybe just maybe they may be coming out of storage.
Why? Was there something wrong with them?
@@StumpyNubs More like something is wrong with me. I found them very strange to use.
Taylor is having a sale on hand screw clamp kits. 20-50% off depending on clamp size.
Another GREAT idea. I love your videos!
What wood would your reccomend for handscrew clamps?
Anything relatively hard.
I have two of these and never used them. But now you’ve given me ideas. But.. am I missing where the info is to modify the clamps? Thanks
In all my 57 years, I have never once seen these advertised, or for sale in New Zealand.
Neither have I ever seen them in use. :(
Love the matchfit clamps, didn't know I needed them. Is there a drawing of the extended clamps? The drawing from Taylor Toolworks is just for ordinary clamps.
The Taylor drawing gives you the info you need to make the regular clamp, and I give the alterations needed in this video.
Another great reason why you're my boy blue. You ever seen euro trip I think it is, old college guy that gets into wrestling lol where you're my boy blue!
The link for the clamp kits is getting an error 404 message. They still have them on their site but they may have changed the location. These are really cool -- thanks for sharing!
Okay, so yeah, sure, these are really handy modifications to the standard clamp, especially the mounting holes that allow you to use a MicroJig type clamp to hold them down (which you can do after the fact, to a clamp you already have!).
The v-grooves sure seem like a good idea, though I've not yet had a reason to use them. I watched the video, did the TayTools thing and got some 8/4 maple and I can just say those folks at Jorgensen or Bessy, or wherever sure earn their $20 for a 10-inch wooden hand-clamp. I mean I was looking for a project, but what a lot of messing around this was! Yikes (but the clamps are cool, I'll grant you that!)
Really good and informative video as expected. Would have been happy to support your channel by buying the kit through your link, but they don't ship their products to Germany or other EU countries. Any suggestions? You rarely find this kind of clamps in germany even if you don't search for a modified version like the one you showed.
Living in Australia I hit this a lot - the US government decided to leave the International Postal Union, which has made it harder for small US businesses to do International sales, but makes people like Amazon happy. There are companies which specialize in reshipping or consolidating orders from the US to other parts of the World - I use 'V Post' which is owned by the Singapore Post Office to ship stuff to Australia, there are plenty of competitors. The US vendor just ships your goods to a US address by whatever means, the receiving company sends you a bill for EU VAT and shipping (they usually offer a holding service for up to 28 days so you can get shipments from several vendors consolidated into one big box) then ship it to you once the payment has cleared. A search on your favorite German language search engine should bring up several who can handle EU shipping paperwork for you.
Sad for James, but just buy at FeineWerkzeuge or Dictum in Germany. Also small businesses and they have so many great tools including those clamps and kits.
I put 1/4 20 threaded inserts in my bench top and clamps. Useful for some tasks but not as flexible as this.
