Cam Clamps

Nice job. I really enjoy making my own tools too. Keep it up. I’m sure they will serve you well.

They look good.

Nice job, they look a lot like the pay for one’s I have seen, just a wooden bar instead of metal.

Hard Maple would make some nice clamps. Since Jim's post on his have been thinking about wood, and I came up with Ash probably for whenever I get to mine. Probably a push, or close to it between Ash and Hard Maple. I just have a lot more Ash, in sizes perfect to divvy up for something that sized.

Haha, that is exactly why I built 2 of the Paul Sellers version of these. I’ll post a pic of mine, one I had to modify for gluing the bridge on. Had to carve it to get into the sound hole and superglued a home plate shaped block to fit between the crossed bracing.

SMP, those look nice! I haven’t done the build yet so I may have to modify mine further.I was thinking about adding leather pads to them.

I was going to add self adhesive cork to mine, but couldn’t find a small amount of it at the box stores. Then was going to use some suede, but ended up getting lazy and just using them as is. But yeah putting something on them is a good idea, especially if maple(mine are pretty soft alder)

Love it
