  1. Scrap Wood Parallel Clamp - Prototype, proof of concept

    It ain't pretty but it works. I have always like homemade jigs, machines, tools etc. As the title says, this is a proof of concept prototype.I know there are plans out there. But I have reasons not to use them. For example, I want a simple design and something where I can use different parts...
  2. Parallel Clamp Cleaning Rack

    I made this clamp cleaning rack out of a 2×4 and some 1.5" PVC pipe! This method works wonderfully to remove built up glue and gunk on your clamps. My cleaning solution is white vinegar. And hour of soak time and your clamps can be wiped clean with a scotchbright pad. I have a step-by-step...
  3. My Glued-up, Laminated, Sculpted, OSB End Table. A Companion Piece to the Rocker & Footstool

    This end table is the third piece of furniture I have built using OSB ( Oriented Strand Board). I designed it using some of the visual elements of the rocking chair and footstool. My goal was to make all three pieces look like a set. I followed the same construction procedure for all three...

    I have around 36 parallel clamps in my arsenal that have NEVER been cleaned or lubed. After the slab lamination glue up of my ongoing Roubo workbench project, it will be time to hit all of them finally. After reading a bunch of LJ posts and research, the King's Fine Woodworking folks have a...

    Hey all. I'm trying to decide which size of parallel clamps would be more beneficial out of the 24" or 31". I've got my eye on some 12" and 40", but can't decide what I should do about the middle size. For those of you who have both sizes, do you find you use one of the sizes more than the...

    Andy Klein is at it again! Andy Klein invented a new kind of woodworking clamp. He modified a regular parallel clamp so that it can be used as both a regular parallel clamp for day to day clamping tasks AND it can also be used as a panel clamp when you want to glue up a panel. The way I got...

    I've noticed in several woodworking videos that people sometimes seem to struggle adjusting their parallel clamps, so maybe this will help. I just bought my first batch of the Jet parallel clamps last week during the Black Friday sale, and they were delivered today. After opening them up and...
