Still in the luthier clamps series, the "E" clamp, which is actually a special clamp used to press something on an edge .

Here it is in use, gluing a bone piece on a point of a bluegrass mandolin :

Is the tube hollow or solid Christophe? Looks like a nice piece of clampmanship either way.
About 200mm long?
Trying to sense the scale, not being a bluegrass mandolinist (?) an' all :hattip:

Hi Doc, thanks for the comment,
yes I'm sorry, I missed to give some dimensional info:
- it's solid square section steel, 10mmx10mm
- dimensions are 90mm x 60 mm
- screws are 6mm diameter.

Christophe your tools are always very pleasant in the context of simplicity and functionality. Congratulations.

Great idea and well-executed. Thanks for sharing Christophe. Knobs would be nice additions IMHO.

First time to see a clamp design like this. Very creative as usual, Christophe!
