Eric. Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 This morning I proved to the world that a woodworker does not spontaneously combust when he speaks the words, "I don't need any more clamps." Kind of jealous. Feel like I'm missing out. I'm just gonna have to find something else to waste my money on. Kids and wife are taken care of...now it's all about ME! That's the Christmas spirit!

Eric. Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Watch yourself, Dave, or you might find your liver on my plate next to some fava beans and a nice chianti. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveT Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Watch yourself, Dave, or you might find your liver on my plate next to some fava beans and a nice chianti. I wouldn't recommend it Eric. After many years of over sampling various beverages I think it would be a bit too tough - although on the bright side I don't think you would need the Chianti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Wish we could get Jet clamps in the UK. The best ones we can get are not too bad though - Bessey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDave Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 The local Woodcraft had a limit of 4 so I picked up just 4 24" and bought rest online. The best deal is the 2 24" and 2 40" set from Beaver. Couldn't get the Woodcraft site to come up... Maybe I need to talk to them about a better hosting service...

Cochese Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I told myself I wouldn't buy any, but just grabbed 2 12" (don't own that size) and 2 24" to replace my subpar Irwins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDave Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I am just starting out so this was good timing for me... Not according to my wife... but good timing nonetheless. I picked up a total of 4 24's 4 31's 4 50's and 2 60's. Already have 2 60's and some 12's. So all in all I think for now I will have what I need to get me starting a my cutting board projects.

2nd floor Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I just picked up a couple of 40" at woodcraft. For those close to a menards.... Jorgenson cabinet clamps 24" -$23 36" - $27 48" - $30 Seems to be a good deal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon_t Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Beavertools may still have them as well. Lucky for me they just did. Just got 2 framing sets and 4 31" clamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithP Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Success. It took a few tries at the Rockler website, then a call to their 800# to cancel a duplicate order (great customer service person) but I managed to get the 4 clamp set.

Tom Cancelleri Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I bought 4 x 24s, 4 x 31s, 4 x 40s and 4 x 50s. I should be set for building my work bench, some cabinet doors and other misc things. Maybe put some French cleats on the wall and build some modular hangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
