beth,

When using pipe clamps to keep costs within reason yet always have the right length on hand I standardised on one length, the most used length and used coupling sleeves to join pipes together when I need longer clamps.

The other thing which is common is to make your own hand clamps as in the attachment. These I make out of scrap wood, tee nuts and all thread. I just set up a production line when I have a spare moment and can produce several in a morning. These are the simple clamps which are very well known to most woodworkers and can be made to suit need. I have a box of about thirty small ones which are very handy to attach things like light mouldings.

Hi Beth I bought two sets of 18 from wood crafter for shoot I don't remember but they were reasonable so I bought 2 sets it has 3 or 4 different sizes. In fact pen state industries is having a 1/2 price sale on all their bar clamps just go there and check out their close out list.
