Thanks for the comments.

I cut the long side almost parallel with the grain as it would take the most pressure.

Thanks again.

They are so simple to make I don’t see why I haven’t already made some and anyone would buy any. You just decide how long you want them and cut the long side more or less parallel with the grain of the wood. I took a paint can cap and used it to draw the inside curve and intersected the curve with a line according to length. Then I roughed out the outside curve based on how thick I wanted them. There are any number of ways to make them.

I intend to make some handles later.

Great work…........

Those are much better than mine!

Oldnovice I would not say mine were better than yours just diff. Yours could be used as the aluminum ones (can’t think of what they are called) that clamp angles together as well as hold down clamps. Might try some like yours later.
