How to make cam-clamps the laminated way

Post by Stephen McLean » Fri May 22, 2015 1:34 pm

Interested to see what you guys think of this method of making cam clamps. I find it a bit quicker than the traditional method. Plans are downloadable from the video below:

Thanks Stephen
The clamps look great, but the production standard on the video is also really impressive!
cheers

Thanks for the positive feedback guys - trying to post a few vids as I learn the luthier process, but its pretty hard to find time - they take a while to produce.

I did something similar (but significantly less classy!) a little while back. These are just made from scrap pieces of pine so they aren't very strong, but they're great for holding pieces in place without squeezing out all of my glue.
