Cam Clamp - Bar Clamps

My Premier Project Plans: Plans for this project can be found here: These are very easy clamps to make. Apart from the bar which is 25mm(1”) steel square tube the rest is made up from wood scraps, so they are also cheap to make. I pay $20 for of the steel tube so that’s quite a few clamps depending on their length of course. Cutting the steel bar to length is the only part of the project that isn’t woodworking and isn’t difficult at all, it could easily be done even with a hacksaw and a good blade. The clamps provide more than enough clamping pressure for a glue up but they do have limitations. There is only a small amount of clamping travel, so you couldn’t use these clamps to close up a large gap. They are however, perfect for a glue up that you’ve prepared the wood for. As always I’m happy to answer any questions. If you would like to support this channel you can do so here You can
