INEXPENSIVE I BEAM CLAMP

This is a real nice clamp Klaus. Similar to a bar clamp but with a wider area to support the material. Nicely done. My harbor freight band clamp would collect glue onoccasion but with some well diluted BLO and mineral spirits, no more problem.
I also like the way it stands off the table.

Nice one Klaus. The plywood industry should be sending us free sheets! :-)

Thanks Dave
The I beam bar make it a bit lighter also besides making it wider giving a better to keep it upright and also makes a good track for the clamping heads guides and overall a easy build which you will see in the video .

-- Bob, Western Australia, The Sun came up this morning, what a great start to the day. Now it's up to me to make it even better. I've cut this piece of wood 4 times and it's still too damn short.

Thanks Pete
I hate having stuff laying in the drawer so this is a good use for the ratchet straps .

Another way of making something useful better. Great way of thinking outside the box. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Paul
Yes that would be nice but I have a cabinet buddy that keeps me fairly stocked with off cuts that are useful for this kind of project .

There is always another application but sometimes it takes a while to come up with it .

Another great idea Klaus! I like that the clamp is wide also and sit straight up on it’s own. How about some wax paper to keep the glue off the belt.
I’m still using my old pipe clamps. :(
Super job again!
Thank for sharing.

Neat idea. I am going to try mine with leftover microlams. No give with microlam material. should make a pretty stout bar.
Thanks again Klaus for posting your ideas.

Pipe clamps are OK but are hard to keep straight up and down .
This clamp has a wide stance which is nice and the strap and glue seem to stay separated so far .
I waxed the clamp down pretty good so glue should come of easy .
