Hi Beth
Just one more way to beat the high cost of clamps...
Pocket Hole Screws can be used in many projects,, then you don't need the tons of clamps the norm..e.g. tops,cabinets,drawers,boxes,etc. the list just goes on and on...most can be hidden or you can use the wood plugs,in most types of wood...platics,etc. the pocket hole screw is like a clamp but you don't need to remove it once the glue is setup and dry..
Then your clamps will just cost Penney's and you can keep them in a little box.
Once you buy a pocket hole jig for a little as 30.oo bucks or make one your over cost will drop like a rock..

I have none right now, except a few C clamps (small); not enough to start a career in routing.
Thanks for any help. |
