Project Information

Made this rather large wooden cam clamp for my Dad for Christmas. He makes fly rod racks and I thought this will help him hold the case together while he adds pipe clamps to the edges. I works surprisingly well and I plan on making some more. The bar stock is available at any home improvement store and an assortment of roll pins does the rest.

Good Job Davey There are probably quit a few who would like plans for these type of clamps.

amazing. i love it. im going to have to give this a try.

do you think a bolt(s?) can be used in place of the roll pins?

What's nice about roll pins is you can use them inside of one another for the pivot point. I would think you could use bolts elsewhere though.

do you mean for added strength against wear?

These look very cool, light and just right for holding things in place. Has anyone found a plan for them?

The workmanship look excellent.

Hey DaveR, I didn't see the link in davysprockets' post. it looks like clear instructions and easily modified. Thanks though.
