    Congratulations, Tuomas. How do we equip with these in every corner and free space?

    Not having many 'F' clamps, it's worth 'C' clamps that'll run one handed. Once developed, a little wrist action, all it takes.
    But they have to be within reach!

    ACME threaded advance quickest, but don't grow on trees. So, hand wire-brush screws once in awhile and lube with silicone spray.
    Sincerely,

    Tuomas:
    Very nice. Looks like I must have missed your earlier reply on your clamp solution. Mine is for "C" style clamps and much more primitive being made from some scrap pieces of rebar I had accumulated, but in function, almost exactly like yours. I go to lengths to make my truck and automotive parts nice, but when it comes to my stuff, I tend to make it quick and dirty with whatever is handy and less useful for something else.

    Your press is excellent. I was wondering about that kool press finger hold down thingy on your drill press.
    Did you make it or have plans for it? Thanks Ken
