A Small Wooden Clamp.

Very sweet job!! Can never have too many clamps! Do you thread with a router and jig?

I probably wouldn’t use it as it’s too nice a piece! LOL!

Tools like this should be used. If looked after they get the nice patina that comes with wear, tear and handling. Takes years to build up a truly ancient look.

You can tell a craftsman by his tools unless they now come from sears! :-)

Hope you made a few because you never have enough clamps?

Looks lovely!

What’s the thread? Have been considering using (relatively) cheap metric tap&die set, but a bit worried that the threads would be too fine and weak.

The threads are stronger than you think, especially if they are not too fine. You will probably be OK with a cheap-ish tap and die set. I do use metric threads and they work fine.

Thanks for responding. :)
