G'Day from south west France. I'm a retired English/Scottish ex serviceman,Firefighter, Policeman/Detective now living out my retirement in the Cognac region.
My problem after renovating 3 houses in the Alps, Centre of France and my present home, is quite simply CLAMPS.
My current double, hardwood entrance gates are 5 foot wide and are suffering from glue fatique. I've tried to buy a set of wood clamps without success and realise I'll have to make my own. I'd cherish any ideas this forum could offer. Thanks to you all in advance :2tsup:

G'day Jack and welcome to the shed!!:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

Ex evrything! Interesting life you've lead.

Do you actually need clamps. or could you get away with a set of tie down straps as used by truckies??
