Clamping 101 -- Getting a Good Mix

You are a fantastic teacher!

What kind of wood should I use to make a desk top?

OMG you are so entertaining!!!!!

Great video. I have to ask, does your dog use a wooden screw clamp as a toy, because he became very interested when you picked them up😂😂😂

I always learn something new when I watch you and you are a joy to watch ❤❤❤❤❤

I love the dog :)

OMG, this is my first, Workshop Companion video but certainly not my last. I love the dog investigating the goings on. Thank you for the informative video!

Bonjour de France 👏👏 The BEST tutos sur les différentes façons de serrage/collage .💪💪💪

I like your dog 🤗 and your experience 👍

Like watching Larry Haun, Tom Silva and Norm Abram all in one, Love watching your channel.

Great tips!
One more is to just use rubber bands for those small projects.

I’ve always used whaler as the name of the curved cuals and cuals for the straight boards. Cuals are used primarily for gluing pieces together so as to prevent them from slipping. And whalers are used to get pressure to the middle of a piece of work.

If you want to apply uniform pressure over length of a bar or beam uniformly loaded, put a clamp at twenty percent of length from one end and same twenty percent of length from other end. Sixty percent of length will be between clamps. Each end is a cantilever beam and centre is a beam with fixed (moment loaded) ends. Deflection at cantilever ends will equal deflection at beam centre.

One time at band clamp…

Great video. Learned something about pipe clamps.

Did you actually train your dog to take/give you your tools?

Nice video. Nice bloke. But no mention of cam clamps, which are good for rapid closure. especially repetitive. Maybe he doesn't find them useful?

Thanks for making such great videos.

I use a Spray Bottle to Mist the wood surfaces to be glued, or a paint brush dipped it water.
Just to dampen before Glueing.

another great video,Nick! thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.

thank you.

Great video, thanks for making & sharing it!

One advantage of living in Norway is, that I have bought pipe clamps, and then I went to a pipe specialist. They had only 6 meters pipes. I bought one. I asked to divide it into four sections. They did it but they could not make thread for it. I asked the mechanic shop in my neighborhood, but they didn't have the necessary tools. I decided to buy a set of thread-cutting tools. All I found are small dimensions and don't have the 3/4 inch that I need. I think I have to use wood instead of pipe!
I love your video. It is full of free knowledge, thank you.

Nice work my man, nice work!

Well, presumably there are forms of woodworking that doesn't actually require gluing? Lathe turning comes to mind?

Honestly your pup is wonderful. What a partner! Oh, and excellent content too!👍👍

Another inspiring and informative and entertaining presentation. I love the intro too. It's perfect.

Great shop buddy!

Good video, now I know the shop gnomes stole the rubber pads on my spring clamps!

That hammer spin got the sub. 🤘🏻

I come out of every viewing experience with this channel feeling edified and relaxed. They should use your videos in therapy sessions. Thanks.

"and a really good angle finder" seriously couldn't help laughing at that point! but all too true! 2 decimal place angles are not a fun thing to be doing even in metal that doesn't have half the movement wood does

What you call a caul I call a pad. What I call a caul is what you call a panel bar.

I have no experience in woodworking, but I enjoy tuning in to your videos. I wish you well

Pressure bars can be found at your local big box lumber store. You just have to sort out the rare straight board.

👏🏼 wonderful content!

Thanks for the tutorial on the tricky wooden screw clamps. I inherited a bunch from my dad and I use them occasionally for their deep throat. Bessey makes a pipe clamp with the screw in the moveable jaw that has an over 3” throat. Love the pipe clamp diy throat extension accessory. Probably will make some out of hardwood.

you forgot toggle clamps! They are amazing for jigs and rigs! love me some toggle clamps!

Thank you so much a great mix of education and entertainment,I like to refer to your videos as edutainment.

My man! What a swell video. You are fun to watch. Keep it up, please.

I stumbled on your channel tonight. I'm stuck in bed for 3 weeks waiting on surgery to repair a blown disc in my back. I know what channel I'll be binging. Thanks much!!

Interphase. I remember laughing when I heard the term differential moisture uptake when I was younger. It made sense. Don't prime the back of an exposed install and it'll rot faster. I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you.

Years ago HF used to have Deep Reach Pipe Clamps that were extremely reasonable but your extension pieces for regular pipe clamps seem like a great idea.

Very nicely done...

i truly love watching this channel so many details i wish i had this man as a shop teacher

“These spell the difference between success and a complete metal brake down” 😂
Couldn’t have explained it better.

Awesome video! Thanks!
You did forget to mention one of the most popular clamps for small part glue-ups, that professional woodworkers have been using for many years...
It's a type of band clamp....
The 'Rubber Band'!!!
They can be used for pencils, knives, and other small woodworking projects.
You know something???....
Masking tape....
That's one of my most popular clamps also!!!
Thanks again for another college credit of "Types of Clamps 101".
Awesome video!
