I scrolled back to see what videos I have missed to watch while I sew up some more masks. What a great video. This will be added to my list to make. Thanks
There are well over 500 episodes of the show Mindy and I am sure that you will find quite a few others that you will enjoy. Thanks for tuning in to the show. I look forward to your comments on other episodes of the program.
I really enjoyed this video. I appreciate that your channel is not only about becoming skillful. It is also about enjoying the various processes in the craft.
Thanks for the kind words on the show Immanuel. I try to produce a show that is fun for everyone. I'm glad that you are enjoying it. Thank you for tuning in to the program.
You're very welcome Paul. These are great for light duty clamping. You can always increase the clamping pressure by increasing the rubber bands on the clamp if you need more, but I have found that these work just fine the way that I made them. Thanks for tuning in to the show this week.
I agree with you Brother. It is so satisfying when you make your own tools that work great . Of Course there are the exceptions . when people ask you who made that and you say me its all worth it lol.
@@acutabove_woodworkings My only regret is that you have lots of valuable information and so few people are seeing it. And, yes, I saw the offer for the free plans. ;o) Regards, Bill
@@billinfarmington5189 I have seen channels where they post one video every 4 months and have 1.5 million subscribers. These are the channels that pay robot services to sub to their channels to make them more appealing to advertisers. I grow my channel naturally and it is growing slowly, but surely. At least when I see the 32+K subscribers that I have, I know that they are actual people and not some robot subscriptions.
@@acutabove_woodworkings The thing is that you really have good things to show and so many people are not getting it. Or else, I am just so really slow that it has taken me 7 decades + to see the light. Bill
Kenny, I enjoyed your video and plan to make some of these clamps for my shop. In an effort to simplify this process, I took your instructions and made a SketchUp drawing of the 4" clamp and scaled it up to a 6" clamp. If you would like to share this with your views, I would be glad to send you a pdf formatted that can be printed to scale.
I would love that Mike. Thank you very much for making the extra effort. I have been sending people the scan of my original shop sketch but I'm sure that yours would be a little more professional. You can email it to the show's address at acutabove_woodworking@hotmail.com Thanks for tuning in to the show.
I hope it never ends Philip. You have no idea how many rubber bands I have left over. In my house, we refer to rubber bands as "ammunition". LOL. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words on the show.
I'm going to show my ignorance: I didn't really know how to use a French curve. But setting up a grid and the masking tape was a "turned on the light bulb" moment. I'm now 100% smarter.
It's just one little trick with French curves to get repeatable results. Glad I could enlighten you on the subject. Thanks for tuning in Dwight. I appreciate it.
Hey, made a pair today and they work really well. Thanks. I also created a drawing as a PDF if there is a way to send it to you and share it. Cheers Russell
This is great. Thanks for sharing the video. I've sent you an email because I'd love to receive the pattern. It'll save me a lot of time. Btw, do you know a device which can measure clamping pressure? (and how much is needed for glueing wood together?)
You can, if you like, clamp the spring clamp around a digital kitchen scale to measure the pounds of pressure it is putting on your work but in general, you want to put enough pressure to hold the pieces together firmly with just a little bit of squeeze out all around the joint. You don't want too much squeeze out as you don't want to remove all the glue. People tend to apply too much pressure when clamping and most of their glue gets squeezed out from the joint. You only need enough to hold the pieces firmly in place. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
@@acutabove_woodworkings Thanks for the tip of using a digital kitchen scale for measuring the clamping pressure. (Why didn't I think of that?) I have a small one which goes to 3 kg or 7 lbs (I can switch) but I haven't got the faintest idea if that is enough. I have all kind of small plastic clamps and some combined plastic/metal ones. But it seems I never have enough of them.
I got my circle template at a local art store but a quick search on amazon shows hundreds to choose from. As for the CNC, of course I could make hundreds of them, but what fun would that be? LOL. Thanks for tuning in Karl. It's appreciated.

Kenny, I really like this project. You can bet I will have a bunch of those in my shop relatively soon. Another great idea from your shop. Thanks...

Thanks for this video, simple clamp especially for small craft work..
Anywhere that you need a light duty spring clamp, this design works perfectly. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
What a great idea for a project, who couldn't use more clamps in their shop! Email sent your way, look forward to giving these a try
Got you email Brett and I've sent the pattern along. Enjoy. Good luck with your clamp cutting. Thanks for tuning in to the show sir.

Love making my own tools Frank. Glad that you liked the show. Thanks for tuning in this week.
Great project, thanks for sharing your idea.
You're very welcome Francisco. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Another great video, Ken! Thanks for sharing all your tips, tricks, and creations here and on Woodbarter!
You're very welcome. I'm glad that you like them. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave a comment. I truly appreciate it.
Hi Kenny! The masking tape on the french curve was worth the price of admission. Regards, Bill
I've used that trick for years Bill. It really works great. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

Kenny,
I would love to have the pattern for your spring clamps.
Watch video right to the end, you will see how to obtain a pattern 😉
Got your email Jeff and I have sent that pdf. I hope you like it. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Thanks for chiming in Brett. It's appreciated.
Hi Kenny, another good one, when will it end lol. I know you had lots of rubber bands leftover from the gun build, take care mate.
