Kant twist clamps

[craig9]

I have a fair few clamps, but not many machinist clamps. So - why not build some?

I'll be following some excellent plans I bought from Doug Gray. His online shop is here: https://d-gray-drafting-and-design.myshopify.com/

Enjoy!

Thanks,
Craig

When I built mine, I went the other direction. I marked out and drilled the holes on individual arms, then bolted them together (I do not know how to weld) and trimmed the ganged parts to the marks. I had to make a simple jig so that the nuts or bold heads had a divot so the gang of parts would still be square to the mill and later to the belt sander.

Craig: Real nice workmanship! You say "stainless steel is a real pain to work with..." How true. It is a common saying between german engineers: Edelstahl ist Eselstahl. Means that only Esel (jackasses) use voluntarily stainless steel.
