Home-Made Clamps

I have, though some would argue it is a jig. I'm on the way to work this morning so no pics, but I have taken two strips of plywood and I have some 1/4"-20 hardware on either end that I use to hold shorter pieces together to send through the planer as a bundle to make them all identical width.
 
I've used a pair of wedges and dogs on my bench to "clamp" up a couple panels when I had all my long clamps in service doing other panels. Some of those wood bar clamps are on my roundtuit list.
 
Jeff,

My wife, Myrna, totally cracked up when I showed her your, "Those who keep an orderly shop..." motto (or whatever you call it).

She is my "finder." Whenever I cannot find something (happens frequently) I go to Myrna, give her a description, and, of course she finds it right away. Upon occasions she has told me that I can't find anything unless it stands up and yells, "Yoo Hoo!".

Enjoy,

Jim
