Toolmakers Clamps! | Part 1 | Shop made TOOLS

Published 2023-01-28
Making the toolmakers clamps that ‪@d.graydraftinganddesign361‬ over in Canada sent me a while ago. This video is Part 1 and will document the making of the floating and fixed jaws.

Please check out Doug's website. He has many unique and fun kits that you can purchase to make in your own home machine shop. They are very reasonably priced and you can purchase the whole kit or just the plans to suit your budget.

    Great job Aaron. At the 5:35 mark I did notice that when you were tapping the 8mm tap into the hole. The tap was touching the spacers that hold the work up.

    Something i have been wanting to make for a while now & some machinists jacks. So many things to make. Great vid Aaron. Regards. Steve.
  • My favourite clamps . You can make them without that clip as it does bugger all . I need to make some more as well . 👍
  • @Rustinox
    Always good to have more clamps. Plus, this type work very well.
  • Would be handy to have a set of 4" size clamps. Most are so small they don't hold very much. Are you planning on Parkerizing them afterwards?
