Hey John i think these are the nicest diy bar clamps on UA-cam one of my biggest reasons for the comment is they simply do not look homemade but look like something that may have been commercially available to Woodworking professionals in the past thanks for another great design and a good video on the build i enjoy the details you show and the advice/comments you offer in them
They look so simple in the photograph, but then when you break it down step by step . all of the work you put in the building these things, not to mention the video production very well done. thank you John.
John, I've watched most of your videos over the years. Very impressive and I love your no nonsense approach. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make these plans and provide us with them. Very ingenious. Thanks so much for the effort and time you spent.
Couldn't agree more with your comment - superb quality not only of the product but also the really lovely production of the video - that was like watching a 15 minute movie, manna from heaven when you're into this kind of thing! Thank you.
Hello John, it’s hard to explain how much people like you help others sharing your knowledge and experience, they are such a nice clamps looks amazing and sure works as intended. Thanks man for sharing!
These clamps are wonderful John. Your instruction is clear and precise and all the additional jigs and tit bits of knowledge are so helpful for the novice like me. Greatly appreciated
Like how you began the video by showing viewers the most typical use of long bar clamps for us woodworkers! They don’t need to be extremely strong for a glue up of panels nor for 95% of any other woodworking application they may be used for. These clamps seem to be your best design and are much easier to build. You are always trying to help your audience understand so that we can “build it” easily ourselves. Thanks, it’s appreciated!
Thanks for making this project using the best material and methods available. I think a lot of us appreciate seeing some next-level stuff, whether to learn a concept or use it as a practical tutorial. Also, awesome notch-cutting jig.
Maybe it's just me, but I really like that you show your saw getting stuck in hard wood just like the rest of us instead of editing those bits out and making it look like everything always goes perfectly.
I must have one helluva table saw...that part shocked me. I've got an 80s vintage Delta/Rockwell Model 10 Contractor's Saw with a Forrest 48T full kerf blade and cherry, maple, oak...butter...all cuts pretty consistently. Now two weeks ago when the blade and fence were way out of alignment resulting in the back end of the blade pinching the work against the fence...yeah...there was some struggle there...but now that the blade and fence are parallel to the table mitre slots to within 0.0015"... it's a gem. I've also gotta point out that my heart stopped a couple times when I saw the workpiece start to climb up the back of the blade...yikes!
@@jensdavidsen4557 i honestly think its the blade he is using. I was helping my younger brother do some trim for a baot he is building and his saw has almost no power. We put his 6 inch small kerf blad on and had none of the binging issues that we where having with the big blade. thats why you see the burn marks. "work blades seem to rip though everything with no damage to the blade but seem to have more issues with bnding and upkick like that.
Matter of fact, practical, ingenious, and beautiful. Heisz makes a good safety point about his “comfort” with his table saw. Finally, one can never have too many clamps!
good to see you have figured the advantage of a piece of mdf covered with melamine in the bottom of the thickness planer. I have used this method for many years and find it not only decreases friction but it almost eliminates snipe. 1/4" melamine covered mdf also makes a nice top for the table saw when the insert is not perfect or you need a zero clearance insert.
Hi John, Super job and very well described. Thank you for the time and effort you put into making these videos. Indeed you can never have enough clamps and this tutorial will save big bucks over buying a factory bar clamp. Awesome indeed.
Beautiful work indeed.They are a joy to behold.Being a practical person myself I always make my special clamps out of steel. Not as satisfying but very strong , effective and quick to make.
Just started watching this channel after I saw one of his other projects. I didn't read the title, the video starts and I'm like those are really nice clamps. Then he makes them, awesome.
Thank you John. Nicely done. I just bought the plans even though I'm advanced enough in my woodworking journey that I could make them by just watching this video. I bought them because I've been watching your videos for many years now and appreciate you keeping it real and honest. I have some UA-cam content myself, and I know it's often a thankless job. So here's my $8 and a thumbs up for a Thank You.
I been watching your channels for a long time and just got these plans because heck its Christmas and you've been doing great work. I know it's not much, but thanks for the channel both knowledge and entertainment.
I really like your vidios, some people will always piss and moan about things, don't let it get to you. I appreciate your talent and skill. Thank you , you have helped me become a better woodworker
I've watched this three or four times now, and I'm still just taken back about how beautiful a wood clamp can be! :) I appreciate the amount of attention and detail you put into your plans and your videos, especially for us novices out here. I've built your large k-body clamps and use them all the time. I can't wait to make these some day. My "woodshop" (haha - garage) is starting to like like it's Heisz designed. Wait, if you saw my shop you'd be insulted that I said that - so never mind :D Also, just made your table saw fence - amazing. Thanks, John!
Nice looking clamps and great work with the Jigs. A question John. With the bars being wood, have you considered glue squeeze out and either sticking to the work piece, and or the glue soaking into the notches and reducing the effectiveness Sorry I don't mean to be negative. Love your work / videos
Love your videos... I always feel like I can make anything after watching your videos. Still need to find time to make the box joint jig... Every time you put out a video my to do list grows larger.
loved the video John, very informative, i find the making of jigs and tools fascinating, but I'm reasonably new to the work shop and have just begun to use the machines again after years away so please forgive me but your lack of safety is scary, i will probably do the same as i get more confident but until then i will keep my fingers in a safe area away from saw blades and drills. all the best.
Great build, Sharp look... great functionality,.. two thumbs up! Your primary shop teacher must be so proud. the pupil has become the master!!! I enjoy watching your talent displayed. Thank You. IJN
Nice build John , however I made somehow similar long clamps but faced a problem where the notchs kept chipping , maybe I was tightening too much or the wood wasn't hard enough , so I had to make holes in the moving part and through the bar every two inchs or so but not exceeding the length of the threaded metal bar and inserted a moving dowell , that made it stronger.
Okay so awesome clamps....and more importantly beautiful shop, very thought out! I found myself looking at your cabinets and such more lol. I'd like a video tour of it!

The piece of wood was twisted.

Absolute wealth of techniques in this video for _any_ project. Thanks John!
I'm a wood worker my self I love your work I build guitars my self I made a lot of my own tools to I think u are one of the best keep up the good work

I love your sarcasm and the details you give. I have subscribed.
you're a woodworking savant. Nutty wonderful creativity! Kind of like a jazz musician riffing. Awesome.
Hi John, Super job and very well described. Thank you for the time and effort you put into making these videos. Indeed you can never have enough clamps and this tutorial will save big bucks over buying a factory bar clamp. Awesome indeed.
What a really elegant solution John
I love how you simplified everything
They turned out amazing. Very useful design.

Look really nice. Saving this to my favorites. Never too many clamps.
Thanks John, these look like the best clamps ever. Just ordered a set of plans.
Very nice indeed. Working on getting another workshop so I can get creative again. Thanks for the inspiration
Mr john ilike your video and ilove woodworking
Nice, I love clamp builds. This one looks really good.
Thank you John. Nicely done. I just bought the plans even though I'm advanced enough in my woodworking journey that I could make them by just watching this video.

Thank you!
Those are some good looking clamps. I like the design.
I love to see creativity and the way you've made all your vices I think is just great.
Hat Trick
Great design, Great Build, Great video.
There are a LOT of bar-clamp builds on UA-cam and this is the best yet.
Great video! In a shop where hundreds of clamps are needed this is a great solution
Very nice idea, John. I will make some. Many thanks for making the plans available.
Excellent... the router jig alone is brilliant. Thanks!
Love your home made clamps, very nice technique use to build them
love the mini table saw sled !
making one for mine tomorrow
I been watching your channels for a long time and just got these plans because heck its Christmas and you've been doing great work. I know it's not much, but thanks for the channel both knowledge and entertainment.
Those are sweet clamps. I have found out that putting glue on both sides work so much better for me.
Nice job. I like the jib you made for making the saw-tooth notches. Sure beets filing or using the band saw in your previous video.
Excellent design, clever process and wonderful results. Truly an impressive video!
That’s a nice looking set of clamps!
I really like your vidios, some people will always piss and moan about things, don't let it get to you. I appreciate your talent and skill. Thank you , you have helped me become a better woodworker
Super technique and nice video Mr. John
Nice way to improvise with the temporary clamps.
Very nice clamps, awesome informative and well done video, and no stupid music! Thank you!!!
Your best iteration yet!! These look super gorgeous, John, well done!
i’m going to say these are the nicest homemade Bar Clamps on You Tube John, Thanks for sharing the brilliant design
Fantastic work as usual John

Very nice clamps mate. I might have a go myself at some point. Great video buddy
Just amazingly freaking awesome! Best clamps that I have seen made on YT by anyone. Great work John..........

Coating with poly helps. Also a coat of paste wax will add even more protection.
Thanks for answering this. I had the same question. These clamps are awesome!
My thoughts is just fine sanding n wax buff finish
Great project John. These are on my list of things to build.
besides the clamps ingenious the notch cutting just as good.
Very good video and clamps. Thank you very much for your time and talent!
Love the clamps John
Those look great John! I like the design.
Works of art! Nicely done!
Really liked all of the templates that you made
I don't think I'm to that level yet, but I'm definitely saving this as something to aspire to. Excellent video and thank you.
As always great project John
If you have imagination, materials, money and power tools, you can build it. Very good looking units.
Wow. Beautiful job
Love your videos... I always feel like I can make anything after watching your videos. Still need to find time to make the box joint jig...
Every time you put out a video my to do list grows larger.
Outstanding John
They look top notch John, both in functionality and looks! :)
Great job. Very smart build.
loved the video John, very informative, i find the making of jigs and tools fascinating, but I'm reasonably new to the work shop and have just begun to use the machines again after years away so please forgive me but your lack of safety is scary, i will probably do the same as i get more confident but until then i will keep my fingers in a safe area away from saw blades and drills. all the best.
Absolutely useful. Thanks for sharing.

Man that's awesome! Great job John!
Great job. I love your videos and to watch your thought process come alive. I need to make these. Thanks for sharing
Totally enjoyed how you made these. Very fun!!
Nice build John , however I made somehow similar long clamps but faced a problem where the notchs kept chipping , maybe I was tightening too much or the wood wasn't hard enough , so I had to make holes in the moving part and through the bar every two inchs or so but not exceeding the length of the threaded metal bar and inserted a moving dowell , that made it stronger.
Okay so awesome clamps....and more importantly beautiful shop, very thought out! I found myself looking at your cabinets and such more lol. I'd like a video tour of it!

Bravo
Congratulations, you are a genius, you have done an outstanding job!
