Check this out Izzy. It was my first LJ post about 5 years ago. They are not nearly as nice looking as yours, but they only take about 15 minutes to make using the templates that are also pictured. They work great too. I designed and made them because I couldn’t find any for sale here in Norway at the time. I love the idea that yours and mine too are dirt cheap to make and work just as good as the commercial ones.

I’m building a workbench with identical construction as your “How To Build a Simple Workbench” video, only two benches 2’ x 8’ arranged in an L shape in the corner of my shop. I do a lot of fine sanding, lathering and routing, this clamp is going to be the first attachment for it. Thank you!
