great clamps for gluing in neck and tail blocks

Post by tippie53 »

Here is a good source for clamps that I use for setting the blocks. Grizzly cataloge pg 377

I like the split surface on them. Works great with a lexan pad.

I've seen those. Do use one or two when doing the glue up?

I have a couple of those. I got mine at Lowe's (as I recall). Mine are made by Bessey, but look identical.
