MMMMMMMMMMMM and the link takes you to a page " We have moved"........................................Good thing I guess, maybe he has gone home! One thing that annoys me is when people do not even afford the board the courtesy of putting in their location. People really have to give minimal info to register, surely it is good manners to comply.
Anyway both Peter and Ian, nice work. Peter I note that Triton still doesn't make lathes! Turned handles will really finish those clamps off nicely.
For tomorrow...Have a good week all.

sturdee,
why dont you use some more suitable timber for your clamps? i admire blokes who recycle and all, but im not sure if your components will cut the cheese over time. spending a bit more cash and a little more time with your materials will pay divideds in the long run. no offence or anything

Maybe one day I'll make a copy attachment and it might get more of a workout.

Just as a point on the Yankee Doodle Dandy I suppose after throwing so many insults it becomes difficult to apologise and eat humble pie but probably better he has gone into his hole and stays there.

However I prefer to use recycled materials if possible, the waste not want not philosophy was drummed into me from an early age. If a bit of recycled timber does the job I will use it especially if the hardwood has been suitable aged like me.
Time will tell whether the timber in the clamps will last , if not I will rebuild them. This would not be a very great problem as it only took a day or two to make a dozen of each of the three types.

Guys,
for some reason i feel compeled to apologise for that jerk (joe) . he's the kind of guy that run's around like a chicken with his head cut off, and i bet he's just an unhappy person all the time. most of us in the states are ashamed to find people like him (eg our president) giving us a bad name. we just want to be good husbands, dads and if we get the time, to make a piece of furniture as nice as major panic or rocker. so Peter, here's a big thanks from one yank who's read all your stuff and has used a lot of it.

Ryan,
No need to apologize for that jerk. I know that there are bad but also good guys in every country. Especially in America and we lately we have more good yanks joining this forum.
Trouble is that the bad are more pushy and vocal than the good guys.
The funny thing was that I was going to say yes to his request if I was satisfied that his website was kosher. However he did not allow any time for this checking. He also did not allow for the time difference and the fact that I don't sit in front of the computer all day.
His impatience and insults got him a refusal instead.
BTW I am glad that you enjoy my posts and find them usefull.
Peter.

Amusing
Following the barage of insults across the "pond" I was intrigued to find out a little more about Joe. I had a look at his website and I couldn't help but notice Joe has an uncanny resemblance to ........... it took me a long while to work out who but I think I've found it. If Joe has a sense of humour I think he too will find this quite amusing.
Alex.
Can anyone name the character?

Now, Alex, have you been taking screen shots from p0rnos again? :eek:
Shame on you.
Can't help you with the character ID, not my flavour in movies mate, but to each his own
Cheers.........Sean
The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Peter
I was looking at the clamps and like them. I have made similar. Instead of using t-nuts I threaded the wood. Also I cut slots to hold a nut frozen to the allthread with heavy mono line. That is for the end of the end thread and the handle end of the center thread. If you are interested, I could get a picture up for you. I also have made flip clamps and engineers clamps as well as small bar clamps from my old days as a guitar repairman.

I am not sure how to post pictures on this forum. so here are a couple of links. First of all for a model maker's clamp or engineer's clamp

Second a flip clamp

Third a swing clamp or cabinet maker's clamp

Nothing fancy here, just what works. I have been asked to put up a how to page on the site and I will do so when I get a chance.
