BOX CLAMP VER.2

I made a set and they worked very well but I did have a few issues that detracted from the pleasure of using them.
You have cleared them all up in this update.
Mine are already altered, some alterations are my own and a couple are Klaus’s suggestions but they are now very easy to use and reliable clamps.

Thanks buddy.

Great clamps, Klaus…...I gotta make me a set of these. Is it possible for the sides to slide by each other when you are doing butt joints?

Hi Klaus,

A great box clamp can come in very handy. What kind of joint are you using in the last photo? It looks like a butt joint in the photo, but from your text it sounds like it is either a finger joint or a dovetail.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks all for your supporting comments !
Paul thanks for your inspiration on some of the updates it always helps .

For butt joints you could add a board to the ends as a spacer with the new corner or use the original corner design . (see picture )

I made a set similar to your first version but haven’t used them or really tested them. Side tracked on family to do projects. Thanks for the update improvements. I will hopefully get to them soon. Thanks Klaus.

Brilliant Idea… I am going to cut the parts out on my Laser.

Kiefer I think you should write a book. A woodworking publisher would be crazy not to snatch it up.

Rick’s right! Everyone. “Book, Book,Book!” A lot on my to do list. One more item. I’m working on a sled.

Klaus you are Always Thinking! LOL!
