I can understand the need to clamp and the spring clamps put a lot of force on the wood. I use them a lot and they do work for most things so I was a bit supprised when they did not hold the parts for this project. The parts did not seperate so they did hold in that direction but letting then slip horzontally was a bit unexpected and the twisted joint.......

Thanks for your input,
