Just a suggestion, but rather than clamping the screws in a vise and hand filing them, why not chuck them up in your drill and let it act like a vertical lathe? Then you can just hold the file against the screw while it rotates in the drill.
excellent ol'boy, dont have tools make them. can't have enough clamps and you could end up paying university tuition for them work-wise better not to just throw money at problems or you will just make bigger ones
I could use a new Pask makes video.
I don't care if you use time-lapse, you must still have asbestos fingers to handle this metal after drilling it !!
“Because it’s fun and I enjoy it.” That’s the best reason to do anything.
Absolutly ❤
It's humble and makes that connection too...
WOW, wow, wow.
I totally agree . I've been making some Christmas ornaments on my side time at work and the guys make fun of me for it saying are you going to start a new Christmas ornament business. I'm like no I do it to spread the love and because it's fun and I enjoy it
It also absolutely makes sense to do usefully things like this to mainly not throw away leftovers. Use what you got, reuse, recycle, repurpose. Then it is excellent work.
Any one who makes things knows, "I'm not doing this to save money, I am doing this because it is fun and I enjoy it."
This is a fun little video. Thank you for sharing.
Love the handmade-vs-production comparison! It's really cool to see a video that covers "You can totally make this thing by hand!" *AND* "check out what I can do with a full workshop!"
Sir,you don't have to request people to subscribe,You are a LEGEND in woodworking
Pask gets it. I don't just watch maker's videos to see what they can make. I watch to see what I can make.
Thank you for posting this video. I have several commercially made "C" clamps that are missing their pads, and you've shown a good way to make some of the smaller pads I will want. Very nice work.
Paying tribute to the majority who don't have cool equipment, it's inspiring to many, Salute to you Sir! 😊👍
You said you're doing this not to save money, but because you enjoy it.
There are not a lot of feelings better than actually using tools or other things you made. Whether it's a machine you built or just a spoon you carved. Knowing you made this yourself and now you're using it is such an amazing feeling.
More people should experience making things.
I like that you don’t over complicate your projects and keep solutions simple so anyone can have ago
The most interesting section of this video was when you transitioned from hand-making to mass-producing these clamp marvels. And gosh - these came out so perfect they looked store bought. Congrats!
the level of details is amazing, he can sell them for $20 or more no problem, for me i'll probably stop at 6:37 and be good with it lol
I AM FROM BOMBAY, INDIA. NOT ONLY DID IS LOVE THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF YOUR MAKING THESE CUTE LITTLE CLAMPS, I SIMPLY ADORE THEM. THANKS FOR THE POST.
I love the fact that #PaskMakes doesn't do this to save money but for the fun of it! That's something that is rare these days and I hope he never loses that feeling!
"I'm not doing this to side money I'm doing this because it's fun and I enjoy it" . Can't say better, that is why I want to make all my tools! It is fun and i enjoy it! Thanks for sharing this great idea!
What tools will you use to make all your tools?
I'm not being dumb or difficult just a little humorous (hopefully) and a bit over particular about word choice.
@@chrissekely haha i know what you means 😅 but yea you need some tools to make tools but when we think about that, how we made the first tools? Rock and lumber can be tools too 😂
Same goes for me :) That's why I bought 3D printer recently, just to be able to do more tools, instead of buying them :D Now, with access to 3D printing, I can make quite decent gears or many more complex things, that without lathe or stiff milling machine wouldn't be possible for me :) And I can clearly see, that this little clamp would be another project soon, with some personal modifications :)
@@chrissekely in blacksmithing it is really common to make a tool to make a tool to make a tool to make a thing. To the point that if you actually want buy lets say a punch or drift, it is not that easy. One of the things I love about it. (the making part, not the you can't buy that part). Almost all of my tools I've made myself.
@@chrissekely The ones you have on hand - or can make from what you have on - IMHO 😉😉
It never ceases to amaze me why somebody would give a video like this a dislike.
LOL - it never ceases to amaze me that so many people are anti-value, anti-responsibility. I might even call it disrespectful of their fellow man. Maybe they are jealous? Makes no sense. I am so happy when someone else can do something so much better than me.... because if it’s a good thing, and I can’t do it - isn’t it awesome that someone else can? I am really grateful that someone is WILLING and ABLE. And even if I can do it, someone helping out is appreciated!
Respect to anyone who will do this kind of work with handle tools!
I don't know why, but tapping threads is one of the most satisfying things ever. I have a small broken drill dress I have kept around solely for the purpose of making accurate taps. Just turn the chuck by hand while applying pressure on the spindle.
I'd agree ... mostly out of delight and amazement every time I *don't* break a tap. :)
@@petergamache5368 lol
I agree and have also used the drill press method, it works well. 😊
@@petergamache5368 good quality spiral-point taps are fairly indestructible... I use them in a tapping head for production tapping...
😎👍☘🍺
@@petergamache5368
Usually, there are three taps in a set, starter, intermediate, bottom.
When a tap gets tight, back it out and run in one of the others.
Keep swapping taps (in any order) whenever one begins to get a bit hard to turn.
I've done this many times and my tap breakage has gone to almost zero.
If I ever make it to The Land Down Under, I'd love to have a beer with you Pask! Great work as always mister and love your videos. Be safe and have a great day sir! 🤘
Thanks very much! 😊
This is the kind of project that made me love this channel in the first place.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
never a disappointment when I watch your vids. you're one of the few I watch with voice-over, but your cadence and direct statements make it fun to watch and learn from you. thanks!
I love seeing loads of small hand skills that I can store hopefully in my head for when required. Excellent video.
Nice simple prohect. A shop tip for you and your wiewers: If your design allows you ro drill a hole in the path of the hole saw blade (this does), the hole allows a place for the chips to eject. You get a cleaner, faster, better and cooler cut. This also greatly extends the life of your holesaw.
Thanks Roger and you’re right, also works in wood too. 😊
@@PaskMakes I m primarily a wood worker. That is where I learned it.
If I've learned anything from the multitude of your videos that I've watched, it's that "Giving it a go" is the most important thing. Thanks for the motivation!
Here I am with a piece of flat bar; turns out there might be a clamp or two hiding in it! Thank you for the time to make a top-notch job of filming your project.
Fantastic video as always! Thanks for taking the time to show both hand tools use and power tools, shows there’s not a lot of difference really, maybe just time saving. Your mind must go a million miles an hour with all the great idea’s that you come up with, truly inspirational.
never disappointed with your projects. really enjoy the scrapwood challenge
Nice little clamps. If they're used properly and not abused, they should last a lifetime.
Thanks for the video !
love it as always, Pask. and that line about not doing this to save money, but to enjoy yourself - so key!
Classic handy man. “I don’t have the tool I need so I made one”
Have you seen his shirt that says "Need a tool? Make a tool!"?
Pask ain't no handyman, he is industrial genius.
@@300whisper1 He's so humble and unassuming that it's easy to overlook how brilliant and talented he is.
7:39 you say that touch mark was deeper than you'd like, but I think it looks amazing, and I'd even call it better than the prototype! Beautiful work, as always. And equally as always, I've learnt another thing from your video today! (the use of a ratchet bit holder for cutting thread, so simple, so genius, so never seen anyone else do that before...)
The edges of the actual logo part are cleaner and sharper when not pushed in as far. I was still happy enough with that one though! 😊
Yeah, I basically heard "oh, I screwed that one up a bit" and immediately thought "oh, I want that one!"
@@korgan7779 me too!
I like the trick of pressing the pads with the ball bearing. It makes everything more professional
It never ceases to amaze me how much work can be done with simple files. Extremely satisfying work as well!
I really appreciate all the effort you put into these videos, I always look forward to them. Thanks!
Thanks very much Daniel! 😊
Super talented work, and wonderful instructions every time
What a pleasant way to spend twenty two minutes on a Tuesday evening. Thanks for sharing 🌞
"Its not perfect, but it should do"
"Its not necessary, but it will look much nicer"
"I'm not doing this to save money, I'm doing it because its fun and I enjoy it".
There - the first three entries in Pask's new book, "Words to Live By". Each entry to be illustrated with a photo montage of an amazing piece of craftsmanship................
There would be too many projects to show use the quote "I didn't have, so I made this.........."
Thank you for another enjoyable foray into the world of a perfectionist........................
These are great Neil, I want to make some now. A little tip I've learned to keep your drill bit centered on the punch divot: After punching the metal, first drill a slightly larger divot with a 1mm drill. This will give a larger mark for the center web of your final drill bit to sit in without wandering. Sometimes if the ridge around your punch mark is too crooked, file that away first so it doesn't push the 1mm drill off it's path.
Mate if that is your solution, buy yourself a "spotting" drill, it will change your life.
Much nicer then any "homemade" clamp i ever made.
I like learning more tricks 😏 😌 , thanks.
😊😊👍👍
now that's what i call first place in a contest, nothing better then good hand made tools. Thomas Noteboom
Your photography is absolutely beautiful. So are the clamps
They look so good and useful too.
Hello friend , 🤝🤝🇮🇩
Nice project! Look out world when Pask gets himself a lathe! Small tip for what it's worth- get a good sized lathe - you will not regret it .
They look great. It’s amazing what you can make with just the basic tools.
I love seeing the process from single-piece manual operations to small batch production, thanks for showing both techniques!
Cool project… I envy having the time for small fun projects. If I were to make them, I think I’d play with heat bluing…could be quite nice. If there’s any carbon in that bar stock, you might also gain a hint of temper with the process.
And thank you for demonstrating that projects don’t require expensive tools …. It’s important to encourage beginners that may not be able to invest in a fully equipped shop all at once.

You're a man of my own heart, I started out with very minimal & basic tools but honed my skills to make the most of what I had.
Nearly 50 years later, I still love doing stuff by hand & improvising with minimal outlay in my tiny garage.
I'm now the proud owner of some super quality hand tools, & to this day, I still get a real buzz out of using them & knocking out cool parts & fixes for around the home.
I love this video, so many individual lessons here on just what you can do with minimum tools when you set your mind to it. I've always been one to improvise with what I've got and as I live 6 months each year on a small tropical island it's very often the case when little is available. Thanks for sharing your video with us, the product looks great and very usefull.
Thanks very much Toby! 😊
I really like the design, here! The wonderful thing about such a simple and effective design like this is it wouldn't be too difficult to scale them down for even smaller applications! Thank you for making this video!
I Love the Ingenuity that has gone into Creating these clamps, Great work.
Your projects and ideas are always cleverly designed, smart looking, and every single video is very inspiring and full of good tips and tricks to get the job done. I don't do much metal work anymore but these clamps are perfect for a rainy day spent in the workshop and does not require loads of metal or tools so everyone can have a go. Brilliant.
Thanks very much - glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I love that you're promoting the accessibility of making things by hand (albeit with a lot of elbow grease; or with basic tools) & I can appreciate the sense of pride once the finished product is in use.
Btw, I notice you drilling the hole without cutting fluid, It's not necessary? I'd be worried about breaking by bit with such a thick block of metal.
Please do more of these simple tool builds in the future. Perhaps a wood version using thin ply?
Mild steel drills easily w/o cutting oil. If the hole is very big, drill a small pilot hole first. If you are doing production work cutting oil will make tooling last longer. High quality bits make a big difference also. To learn how to freehand sharpen bits - Thatlazymachinist- has an excellent tutorial.
These are lovely. You've not only made a clamp, but a perfect capital G for a Pask font. 25 capital letters to go!
“because it’s fun & I enjoy it”
Should be the basis of all our projects. Truly truly I say unto you The Mighty P has given us The Meaning.
Great little project. Been watching for years and still picking up so many little tricks and techniques. Great stuff as usual mate!
Glad you enjoyed it Michael! 😊
In the future when cutting large holes in metal instead of using a regular bi-metal hole saw consider using a carbide toothed hole saw design specifically designed for cutting only metal. They will drill through it much faster as well as last many times longer.
I just used what I had but if I were to make anymore I think I’d get an annular cutter. 😊
@@PaskMakes And drill a pilot hole right through as well, you're asking that little drill to do too much work.
@@PaskMakes Annular cutters win that competition any day of the week! Not only are they way faster, they also leave a lovely finish when they're done. It's a shame they're so expensive. Only thing I've found that makes a normal hole saw leave a decent finish is to straighten out the offset on the teeth, it's way too much of a kerf if you've got it mounted rigid in a drill press or mill, and it's generally not a consistent offset so the saw is constantly trying to track in weird directions and causing the rough finish.
The singular purpose of owning tools is so one can make more tools- justification enough.
Well done good sir!
I spend more time making something to make something else then anything. I've actually gotten to the point of forgetting what my original project was before.
Beautiful. With or without a shop full of tools, I still enjoy the hand tool touch you put on many projects.
The TH-cam algorithm once again surprised me and I came across your channel. You have a new subscriber, I really enjoyed this video and i will be checking out the others on your channel. Keep up the excellent work.
Have a great holiday! The clamps are awesome, and have so much more character than commercial versions. Quite nice additions to your or anyone's shop.
Thanks very much June! 😊
Straightness of cutting by hand saw is amazing.
I especially enjoyed the fact that you used the two methods of making them. Great job!
If I don’t win one in the drawing, I’d be SO excited if I could even buy one or a few from you! These are awesome!
Neil, as always you have shown your awesome skills and resourcefulness in making something great. I appreciate the painstaking narration and fantastic video skills that I've come to enjoy when watching your videos. Keep it up my man ; )
Thanks very much Jeffrey - glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Thanks for the handmade portion of the video. It brought back ancient and fond memories of Metal Shop class in junior high school.
Terrific little clamps Neil, love them. Great video, thankyou!
What a cool "little" project! I really liked how you showed two different methods of making these!
I like the fact that the clamp looks like a P, for Pask Makes. Great looking clamps
Brilliant! My father would have loved this. Wish he was around still to enjoy this channel.
Excellent work, great simple idea.
I’m a retired Fitter & Turner and l’ve been making most of my own tools since l was an apprentice. I get a real buzz making tools, jigs, etc, etc. You are very resourceful and clever and l can see you take great pride in your work. Well done. 😊👍👍
Man, you're really fast with that hacksaw.
Seeing him saw that by hand made me out of breath !
How refreshing it is to watch a man using his skills with actual hand tools, not plugged-in or battery powered machines. I know I'm a dying breed, but I was getting worried that I could be the last human on the planet who still uses hacksaws and files, instead of reaching for the angle grinder. Well done, Pask Makes, you made my day! Subbed & Thumbed Up!
Mister Sparks
Did you not see him use "a battery-powered machine" in the video; I'll give you a clue, he said "cordless drill"?
@@redblade8160 Yes I did, Thank You, but he used his hand-tools for the majority of the video. (Just in case you missed it)
@@brggmc
No, it's you that pretends to miss the point and I quote you, "How refreshing it is to watch a man using his skills with actual hand tools, not plugged-in or battery powered machines".
I just started this video and it might already be one of my favorites.
Just fabulous. It’s all worth the effort & doable. Pask makes it happen. Simply.
Have you seen the ring on drill bit trick by Wood by Wright? Not sure how well that would work on a power drill but it seems clever to get a straight hole by hand.
Got a link to that?
@@utahprepper8925 th-cam.com/video/0660ESUV810/w-d-xo.html
Those clamps are great! I get as much pleasure from all the little 'helpers' you create as I do from the finished articles
what a great job you've made. Thank you for sharing. I'm starting to make my workshop projects and I'm learning a lot with your videos.
When tapping with a straight flute tap you should back up the tap every turn to break the chips, this allows the chips to fall out of the flute and prevent binding.
Or just use a gun tap
@@Grumpy_CBG do you mean a helical tap, or spiral point tap?
@@ColCurtis spiral point I guess, only ever known them as a gun tap, straight flute not helical flute
It was good to see you filing a rounded surface as I was taught. You can file round with no flat spots by pushing handle of file down while pushing forward. Removes burrs from shafts to pull bearings ect...
Also I thought I saw white out pen marking corners. I use white-out pens to mark torch lines as white-out does not burn off but only turns red in heat.
Awesome share as usual. I made some of these out of some aluminum stock after seeing your picture on Instagram.
They work great for small clamping jobs! Thanks again for sharing!
Magnificent. I watch many videos that are interesting, but in which so many specialized machines are used, that those of us who are just amateurs are useless. That is why I love those that show simple but well thought out things that we can all do with a little patience. All the best.
I know you said “I’m looking to get a lathe soon so that’ll help out” but I first thought I herd you say and I had to go back to check was “I’m looking to get laid soon so that’ll help out” 😂 Just poor 40 year old hearing on my part. Loved the video and I did subscribe. Cheers brother!
I had a complete brain fart when he said he was looking to get a lathe soon and couldn't remember what a lathe was. And I used to work in a machine shop. So I must have really been checked out.
Genial, Você é muito inteligente, parabéns pelo seu trabalho.
What clever little clamp. So many good tips, thanks for sharing!
Like your style, cool and calm, and you have a nack of teaching. 👍👍
When my workshop comes along I've got plenty of ideas to work with. Can't wait...
I know it really irks some people but I love when people savagely use calipers as marking gauges
Why John ?
The caliper jaw tips wear out quickly and then you can't use them to measure properly... 🤔
I know you can buy them cheap in Lidls & Aldi so I suppose they're easily replaced.
As a qualified machinist, I use Moore & Wright, Mitutoyo & Starrett instruments and man are they spendy... you would NEVER abuse them by doing this sort of thing... but its just not good engineering practice even with the cheapys... 🤨
It's not savage at all. In fact, those points are hardened especially for that purpose alone!
I have two one I use for aggressive marking the other for fine measurements
@@peterfitzpatrick7032 idk I guess it’s just a guy getting stuff done with what’s in his hands
@@Joshleslie871 I guess...
I kinda see it on a par with using a chisel as a screwdriver... 🤔😬
13:37 is that long gray thing literally burning metal dust that’s building up on the saw ?
Yes! 😊
Look up spray welding. It's super similar but they take an annoyance and turn it into a functional process!
On mine I drilled 1/4" holes across from the screw. It's real handy for my dial indicator when I dial in my bike wheel. I also put a set screw to hold the shaft on my indicator. Works on brake calipers and other things. Handy little buggers to have around. Thanks for sharing another great video.
Love the "Make on a budget with tools you probably have" approach. Both Pask Makes and Jeremy Fielding are two of my favourite TH-cam channels. Jeremy Fielding teaches how to make your own machine shop out of old washing machines and discarded treadmills. Pask and Fielding inspire me to keep going with what I have because the next step isn't beyond my reach.
The curse of TH-cam is "I made this DIY bird table with my $40,000 worth of machine tools in a gigantic shed." Yeah, right - thanks for the inspiration, show-offs.
Have you ever made a hand router, Mr Pask?
I don't like the fuss, noise and dust of my Bosch machine router. A hand powered router would be gentle and quiet to use while keeping me connected to the wood. I have plans for a cheapish pack of Lidl chisels which I'll cut in half so I'll still have a set of four stubby chisels plus a set of hand router blades. The hand router blades will be swappable to cut different widths of groove and attached to a bolt with a nut for depth adjustment. Already have some 6mm thick mild steel flat bar for the sole plate but might wait to see what hardwearing stainless I can get from the metal merchants before going ahead.
I haven't imagined my way through the sole plate accommodating different blade widths yet, but always thinking...
So cool. How long did the hand tools version take to make? I feel like this is something I could tackle and would actually use.
I've been thinking about some with brass bodies. Should be plenty of force for my needs and be a bit easier to make.
@@robbiemer8178 That sounds cool! But isn't 1/2" brass flat bar expensive?
@@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230 probably. But time I spend having fun is worth the expense usually. I tend to create stuff as much for the sake of creating as for the utility of the finished thing.
it's cheating, you have a bionic arm 😁😁 no I'm kidding, nice work
Amazing work and ingenuity, as always. Well done, Neil.
I love these!! Just in case I don't win one, lol, I just ordered the steel and brass rod to make 2- dozen. Some for myself and a few for gifts for my brothers. Of course, it will take some time to make them, but I'm retired and many nights I don't sleep and go out to the shop. Here is a project I can work on, on sleepless nights. Thank you for all of your effort to make the video and for sharing your unmeasured skills!!
When he was talking about most people having cordless drill, I thought that this holesaw is more expensive than my drill.
But you got the drill
@@janbernad4729 I also got furnace so I can take piece of pipe, weld rod onto it, triangle this rod and cut teeth for holesaw, then use before mentioned furnace to heat treat this homemade holesaw and be happy.
@@fupidox5642 I dont have furnace and welder, but I want to make happy too. How do I make happy? Make happy hard, make sad easy, make angry much easy
@@fupidox5642 aslong as the pipe is high carbon steel you could do that, if mild steel or galvanised not really
@@WinterXI yeah, it still would end up as one use tool probably, but would be fun to create.
Make another clamp out of the circle cut off from the first one
NESTING CLAMPS!!
Really elegant design - like those little clamps! They look great and it's neat seeing you go from the hand tool single prototype to the production technique you came up with to produce multiple pieces. Really nice video!
Absolutely gripping!
Loving that tap, the ratcheting is brilliant
I really love the fixture you made to drill the end of the bolt with!! So simple yet so handy!!
Once again you prove your genius. Any smart person can make a simple project complicated, but real intelligence is needed to make a complicated project simple. You have the best simple little tricks to make just about anything so much easier to do. I love watching all your projects and any time I can learn a new trick to make the next build easier is great. Keep up the good work my friend.
Thanks for this video! I’ll be making several of these.
