I recently had the need for some long heavy duty bar clamps. Since i did not have any back then, i decided to fabricate some for upcoming projects.
The bars are 20x30 mm furniture tubing, and were, along with the nuts, bolts and small hardware the only expenses of the build.
SPECS ON THE CLAMPS:
Big jaw: 15x12 cm (LxH) Jaw depth 6 cm
Small jaw: 10x12 cm (LxH) Jaw depth 6 cm
Handle length: 10 cm
Moving jaw intervals: 5 cm
Thread: M12 (12 mm)
Effective clamping length: about 135 cm
Weight/clamp: 3,1 kg
Clamping power: not yet tested, but enough...

Bullet proof, cool, clamps that will serve the great grandkids! You are an inspiration.

@thmpick 8 лет назад

MAN! You SURE work fast! Very nice work, idea and execution! Thanks for sharing this!

@agileanalyst214 5 лет назад

I saw you use these clamps in your coffee table video, and I knew there must be a story behind them. Very cool story. Thanks for sharing

@bassinbob1965 8 лет назад

I don't think I have seen a better made set of home made clamps. What a great design. You are an awesome craftsman. Thank you for taking your time to create this video for us. Robert

+Robert Ray You are welcome!

@shaggyda2758 7 лет назад

Very well said Robert .R.

@tableshaper4076 8 лет назад

I appreciate the fact you made them but man that was a lot of effort! I will watch your other videos because you are clearly not afraid of work and I respect that.

@workhardism 7 лет назад

Agreed!

@Allbbrz 7 лет назад

I agree... that was an awesome project... the final product looks pretty cool but, he also has those lots of comparatively, expensive machines, why don't buy the clamps too ? I know, I know, it's not fun right ?

@stewartmcmanus2701 7 лет назад

I agree, the best clamps I've ever seen but Man what a torrent of work !!!!! Respect in all you do as I'm sure it will be up to this standard.

@hindugoat2302 7 лет назад

a lot of effort for something you could buy easily at the store cheap... and you made it with all store bought materials and tools so its not about self reliance... work smarter not harder, make something significant

@micnolmadtube 7 лет назад

This attitude you guys show displays the exact reason why good, life lasting tools are next to impossible to get anymore. What Finn did was make tools that are build to last long enough to justify the labor and cost of materials versus buying either cheep use-once, that would probably either have to be bought multiple times doing a project or very annoying to work with or expensive use-forever, that cost way more then the self-made ones. Just because a builder has expensive tools doesn't justify spending money carelessly. Resources are always finite and appropriate thought should always be put into what you do.

@Ditchdoc220 7 лет назад

I have no idea why, but that was immensely enjoyable to watch. Mesmerizing. Thanks for the build.

@MikeSpeakman 7 лет назад

Those clamps are amazing, they will last a long long time. I really enjoyed the video, thanks.

@devin4560 7 лет назад

I get the fact that you put a lot of effort into these for what they are, but I appreciate the fact that you put that effort into them. So often now we don't see pride in workmanship, and you clearly have a lot of pride in what you make. Great job. I enjoyed the video.

A little overcomplicated. There are ways to build those that don't involve quite so many tedious steps. But they work and they'll last forever. Kudos.

@steventhehistorian 7 лет назад

This is awesome. Those clamps are fantastic. It's really helpful to watch how you make repeatable measurements. I'd be thrilled to one day be even half as competent a craftsman as you are. You must have dedicated a serious amount of time and work to get to where you are. Thanks for sharing!

@FinnCrafted 7 лет назад

Glad if the video is of use to someone. This was my first video ever, so there is a lot that i personally would change about it. I have been around tools since a child, but i don't actually have that much experience with building stuff my self. Only the last 5-6 years or so, with increasing enthusiasm. Thanks for commenting!

This is so great. It may have been made at home, but it is not what you would consider homemade. This is so professional. I would prefer the quality in these units over any I would purchase at the local hardware store. Great work. Also, I like how you used the sound effects in the video. Informative, interesting, and very entertaining.
