    A Long Machinist Clamp

    I had a spare machinist clamp, but its capacity was far less than needed. Using some ready-rod, I quickly transformed it into one able to clamp a 14-inch long stack of Jo blocks. The ends of the ready-rod are fitted with hex CRS making it easy to drive them with my electric screwdriver.

    Love it. $100's less than a commercial block wringer and who knows how much easier to find.
