In this video I talk about the 5 basic #clamp types that have served my #woodwork #clamping needs well over the last 20 years. Enjoy!
Note that this isn’t a “the only clamps you need’ kind of video, and I miss out some that are firm favourites with other folks - pipe clamps for example - partly because I’ve had no need for them, personally, and partly because whilst they may available here in the UK they’re certainly not as popular as they are with our American YouTubing cousins because the pipe they attach to is much harder to come across. There’s nothing wrong with them - they’re just not what I’ve used.
Same with the ratchet-style rail clamps too - I probably use them more than anything, but to me they're just a variation on the F-clamp. 🤷♂️

@andrewpinson1268 3 года назад

On the Sash clamps which are relatively inexpensive, I saw a Paul Sellers video of how he improved the clamps by at least 50% by inserting a piece of wood inside. I used plywood and put a finish on the plywood beforehand to keep it from disintegrating. I was very impressed with the results. Needs to be tight but not deflect sides of clamp.

@caskwith 3 года назад

Fantastic information as always. I think your central point is bang on, most people overthink clamps and either use more clamping force than needed or have clamps that are capable of more force than they would ever use. More clamps is almost always more useful than "better" clamps.

I agree to all your points👌. I set-up equipment, do all the maintenance, and install out of smaller custom cabinet shop of 7 employees. Being intimate with your work, but in a production mind-set is very interesting. We do not have a cnc . A tracksaw/tablesaw/miter saw/router/shaper, cut everything(except applique special carved mouldings ,etc) from inset arched walnut doors,to painted frame-less boxes. We prefer the even more archaic H-type pipe clamps, 40# 2 footers,12 at 6ft,and 4 at 10 foot. The smallest use 13mm pipes ,and are used for doors primarily . The 6 and 10 footers are 19 mm pipes with threaded ends. Screwing 2 pipes together (which we need occasionally) , gives the capacity of nearly 21 foot. I apologize for not knowing all the metric conversions,since we still use the length of the king forearm for measurements😂. You can never have too many clamps,routers,or drill/drivers. Thanks Peter,well done!

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

Thanks! Wow, sounds like a great shop! I wish pipe clamps were more readily available here, but unfortunately while we can get the heads fairly easily, the pipe is much harder to come by! Crazy, I know! And DW about conversions - I learned feet & inches long before I learned metric! 👍👍

@toddstrope157 3 года назад

The largest numbers of a particular style of clamp in my shop are my aluminum bar (what you called sash) clamps. I started out with Jorgensen, but they are no longer manufactured. Fortunately I've found a new manufacturer called Dabuque, whose clamps are superior even to Jorgensen. I almost bought the cheaper brand available at my Woodcraft store, but the quality was even worse than my Jogensen's which had been servicing me for over 20 years. The deciding factor for me was that both my Jorgensen's and my Dabuque's actually clamp to the capacity listed, the cheaper brands only specified the bar length. I bought a few of the parallel jaw clamps, but keep going back to my aluminum ones because they are much lighter and easier to maneuver around the shop. Another well composed video, thanks.

I'm still working through your inventory of episodes and have enjoyed them all. This is a particularly good one. I have pipe clamps in addition to the ones you have listed. You can buy iron pipe separately and tailor the length to your application, you can even use couplers. You can have several lengths of pipe for each set of clamp ends. I would argue that there are some people who have too many clamps, that's why there are some for sale. They are in the minority.

Thanks! I don’t have - and have never used - pipe clamps as the iron pipes are much harder to find for most people here in the UK. 👍

@warwickholden6332 2 года назад

Thanks for the video Peter. Informative as always! The real advance over the last 50 years has not been so much in clamps as in the adhesives we use. When I was at school learning woodwork back in the 1960's we used "Cascamite One-Shot". A good gap filler with lots of time to set up the joint and apply fierce clamping pressure. Nowadays, with various high quality PVA glues this is not so necessary. Ironically the other glue we (occaisionally) used needed very little pressure on the joint - pearl glue. Or hide glue as it was sometimes known. Once smelt, never forgotten!

@10MinuteWorkshop 2 года назад

That’s very true. And yes, hide glue - that takes me back!😱😂

What a nice video again Peter - made me smile again. I started off with some really really cheap clamps which I used for so many jobs that I started to appreciate them. When I could afford it, I did buy better clamps because the really cheap ones where slipping sometimes and that was not practical. I did keep one on a prominent location on my office desk though, keeping a lamp support in place - to remind me that cheap can be functional - for temporary support as you stated quite rightfully. Thanks!

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

@mamashama9749 3 года назад

I've not been as fortunate with the cheaper clamps. Had the bar clamps bend or ends come off, the plastic handles of quick clamps snap and the cast parts of aluminium clamps break. I admit that is down to use case, they are probably fine for MDF carcasses but for laminating heavy timbers I would only rely on heavy bar or parallel clamps

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

As I think I say in the vid, parallel jaw clamps are perfect for applying high pressure to natural timbers👍

@BensWorkshop 3 года назад

All true, though a couple of (cheap) G clamps for untimate force can be handy. I don't have a dedicated wood workbench, so I find a G clamp useful for clamping a planing stop to the bench. The one handed quick clamps are great for most work and sash clamps can be very handy too.

Thanks Peter; great video. I've used the wooden batten trick in a couple but not all of my alum sash clamps and it works really well. The reason I haven't done it with all of them ties straight to your comment about pragmatism - I simply haven't needed to, I just wanted a bit of extra rigidity in two of them, so I modified two only :)

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

@WobblycogsUk 3 года назад

Good overview of clamping technology. While I wouldn't be without my Bessey parallel clamps my cheap hand-me-down F clamps are probably the ones that see the most use. I've never really got on with spring clamps, they never seem to fit what I want to clamp and or provide enough clamping force - I'll have to try out that edge banding trick though. Quick clamps in spreading mode are my nemesis, the clamp is always either too long or too short to do the job.

@kennywoods8713 3 года назад

Thanks Peter, it's a gripping subject, for years I've had some record sash kits with different lengths of aluminium square section. I've even seen some videos with dog holes and wedges in a strip of wood. I do think that alot of claps are way too expensive however I do have a couple of festool rail clamps, keep up the good work.

I find the Parallel Jaw clamps to be heavy and fiddly. I would say I have a Love/Hate relationship with them, but I don't love them. On this side of the pond I love the Dubuque Aluminum bar or sash clamps. A notch up from your sash clamps and much lighter and easier to use than the parallel jaw ones. Thanks for the inner tube trick, I was about to buy some purpose made ones. thanks for posting.

You can also try Lee Valley from Canada, a lot would depend on postage costs. I got a dozen of the 36" mailed to Australia, they are excellent. Sadly the local tool suppliers seem to be on the ball and have made the price of the 'Cheap & Cheerful' clamps about the same price as the Dubuque clamps.

@eyuptony 3 года назад

Hi Peter. I agree with your theory about wood working clamps having used numerous types over the years. Trying to impress others with a particular brand or type is what seems to be the case in achieving the ultimate workshop cramping method when its not needed. Like you say, you don't need a lot of pressure if your joints are accurately cut. Tony

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

I’m sure you’re right! 👍

@benbrubaker7896 3 года назад

Thanks for the honest review of clamps and their uses. I think the "clamping hacks" shared are worth a thumbs up alone. I agree that the parallel clamps are too expensive for what they actually do. I plan to make my own one day like Pasks Makes or John Heisz has demonstrated. My preferred clamps are Quick-Grip, F-Style, and of course the humble Pipe Clamp.

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

Great over view of clamps and their purpose! I'm maybe a little old school in my working (I'm only in my early 30s!) but when I want something clamped "bastard" tight, space / capacity allowing I will always reach for a G clamp. Fiddly yes, but nothing can apply that kind of force without failure. In all honesty I'm usually trying to encourage old warped timber to be relatively straight, for most jobs with new timber and sheet materials single handed and sash clamps will do the job perfectly, although over time I find on the budget friendly single handed clamps the trigger start to fail.

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

Yep, almost any screw clamp will apply bastard-tight amounts of pressure! And G clamps are great for that! 👍

I had a whole bunch of 100mm G cramps I used for gluing up guitar necks, gluing down fingerboards, and gluing tops to bodies. They might not be so useful in furniture making, but for solid body guitars, they're the perfect size. They're in a box somewhere, I've not seen them since moving house.

Peter, I appreciate your insight on the matter of clamps being a means to an end, rather than the end itself. That said, I do believe in investing in quality tools. I bought some bessey revo parallel clamps on sale and they're simply amazing. But my favorites are dubuque aluminum bar clamps (what you called sash clamps). They're incredibly well-built; they don't bow like the cheap ones. Also, the stated size is between the jaws, not the total length of the bar. They're not dirt cheap, but very affordable. They're made by a small mom and pop operation in the USA.

Another informative video. Thanks Peter. I recognise the old cast G clamp you showed. I still have a couple given to me by my grandfather in the early 60s. I thought the Patreon roll call at the beginning worked well alongside your introduction.

At this moment all I ever really needed and used have been my collection of quick grip clamps. They're super great for any kind of glueing or like I mostly use them, projects holding for parts that need to be sawn/routed/grinded etc. Used to buy the ones from Stanley until I learned that Bessy actually makes all round better clamps and at our store is actually being sold cheaper than a comparable stanley clamp. Recently also had to get the Dewalt rail quick clamps. Other than that recently I found a great use for a ratchet clamp to make a box. Ended up making one from a ratchet strap and 3D printed corner blocks.

If u want that clamp to be epic stif u can make epoxy granite filler (or polyester concrete) mix fine sand with average sand and some gravel if u want to Then add 10% pre mixed resin (do not ever try to mix resin with hardener in the sand gravel mix First mix the resin with hardener then add to sand) U can use sand alone with 15% resin When it harden it is super super stiff The only one disadwantage is weight

Thank You someone who thinks like me many inexpensive clamps, I have some “good clamps” that are not used that much. Here in the US pipe clamps are common for long clamps

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

Thanks! Yes, pipe clamps aren’t that common here - you can get the heads easily enough, but the pipe is much harder to come by. 👍🤷‍♂️

@pipperfect 3 года назад

I would throw in a couple of extra clamps that I find really useful. Firstly the Bessey guide rail clamps, which I find much faster & easier to use than anything else I have tried. I also like the Bessey EZS clamps as they have enough clamping pressure for most jobs & are a lot less of a PITA to adjust than the parallel jaw clamps (which I find immensely irritating). Love the inner tube tip though & am definitely going to pinch that one!

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

Thanks! Yes, I also like the rail clamps, but I tend to think of them as a variation on the F-clamp tbh. Haven't tried the EZS - I found the DuoKlamp early on and fell for them instead! 😂 👍

Remember watching a Paul Sellars video where he used a piece of hardwood sized to fit inside those cheap aluminium sash clamps (cramps?). Couldn't find it though, he has 9years worth of videos and I suspect it was an item within one of his tool tips videos, still, worth a trawl through. 👍 😎

I once saw a young couple in a large DIY store carrying a large tin of paint and two individually wrapped 25mm/1inch paint brushes and I had to wonder if they were aware of all the ancillary equip that might be required for the job. I hope my assumptions were wrong but it does make you realise that its only experience that [severely] lets you know how unprepared you are to carry out work of any kind. Work holding is such a basic requirement that until you've tried sawing a piece of timber by kneeling on it on a stool with a wobbly leg [and probably an old saw] that wisdom starts to dawn. Like always...its the simple things!

I have just sold 12 steel sash clamps (not Record but same style) loved them but they were so heavy to even store, I can live without them, nearly bought some pipe clamps, but again same problem, they are HEAVY, not all clamps are equal my Bessey's are a joy to use (Axminister's are the same) but the ratchet hold down clamps are so nice to use, I would like some big ones of those, the pressure they clamps at must be squillions of newtons PSI

I really must be getting old as the era I come from they were always called cramps. My favourites are still my t-bar record ones, I could never have made some of the solid timber traditional furniture with today’s squeezy ‘clamps’. Not sure when they became clamps but as I say Record before they were taken over by Irwin always referred to them as cramps. These days I have to refer to them as clamps as my students stand and wonder what I am talking about if I say cramps.

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

No, no, no, no,no, not getting involved in the ‘clamps vs cramps’ debate! 😂 It does seem peculiar to old-timey (no offence) woodworkers - nobody ever referred to a “G-cramp” for example - and my woodwork teacher was as old-timey as you could get, and always called them clamps. And you didn’t argue with Mr Davies. 🤷‍♂️👍

@garyblake3130 3 года назад

@@10MinuteWorkshop I thought that would open a can of worms, however it is probably the Americanism of all things why the name became 'clamp' as in Britain they were always referred to as cramps. Like I said earlier my students do not know what a cramp is, that is evolution I guess, soon all young people will be saying feet and inches just like over the pond (hopefully not). www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Clamp_and_cramp I am an old-timey, but still really young at heart, good vid and like the inner tube 'Clamp' 👍

Lol....I have more clamps than tools...it's a recognised disease you know, clamp collecting! I mainly stick with Bessey or Irwin as they are well made and good in use. Cheap quick clamps are mostly trash. Most of mine ended up with snapped trigger levers but cheap F clamps seem absolutely fine.

@neilf4128 3 года назад

Thank you for that. I am a semi professional woodworker, building wood furniture using 4 to 6 quarter stock as appose to flat sheet goods. Parallel clamps are essential in over riding the various tensions found in solid wood. But to your original point, there is an over kill, excessiveness surrounding clamping pressure. Its all marketing really... Too much pressure and you squeeze too much glue out of the joint, weakening your glue up and ensuring future joint failure. I really appreciate your practical approach to the down to earth, day to day, or things. Thank you again.

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

Thank you! Yep, natural timbers or steam bending, all those kinds of things are where you need a lot of clamping pressure, and parallel clamps are excellent for that - and I agree about the marketing appeal,of big numbers! 👍👍

@Mikey__R Год назад

I started out with those cheap F cramps. I've recently graduated to parallel clamps and I'm hoping they'll be far less frustrating to use.

@10MinuteWorkshop Год назад

Good luck with them; nothing frustrates me more than parallel clamps. 🤷‍♂️

@Mikey__R Год назад

@@10MinuteWorkshop I glue up solid guitar bodies quite often. They're basically a small panel, so the parallel clamps should be ideal for this. *Should be...* I'll see how I go.
