turning small clamps....into ENORMOUS clamps!!! :)

Great idea! Recycling doesn’t only apply to milk jugs and beer cans, ideas need to be recycled too! Sounds like you’ve done it here!

Ingenous!

It’s a good idea for light duty clamping, but it doesn’t look like it’ll exert much clamping pressure where you need it most. I may be wrong…let us know how they work out. A very good and inexpensive alternative would be a set of pony pipe clamps, and some 3/4” black pipes in different lengths.

Good Point Shop Dog. I’ll bet you could beef them up plenty by making the joint at each end, say, three times wider/longer. That would make them substantially stronger.

What if you made the arm out of wide enough material that you could cut/drill a hole large enough for the clamp jaws to hook into, thereby eliminating one of those joints alltogether, just having the cleat at the end that would hook over the end of the material. (so its basically an “L” with a hole through the end)

edit: I was thinking of my one handed bar clamps when I pictured that idea, i just realized that wouldnt work for the F-style you have shown the way I’m thinking of it.
