Andy, I just bored a bunch of 1" holes down the center of an 8' tubafor then ripped it. Walla...4 ea. 4' clamp stands.

Sounds like a lazy Sunday afternoon project for the CNC! :grin:

Woodpecker=$$$$$$$$$ Their quality is top shelf, for a price. They have come up with some great ideas over the years. A lot can be shop built for way less, not as purty but the only one looking at them is the guy using it, and he can spend the money he saved on a cold one.

I have a couple of their items. One such item, my wife bought me for a gift. I have used it several times, especially when breaking down sheet goods. Good quality, and made in the U.S.A.

Or a lazy Wednesday afternoon! :grin:

Just a concept drawing. I have some scrap 3/4 inch plywood I can use. I might even add a foot on the rear to help stabilize the board while gluing up a project. This is a 24 inch model 3 inches tall. That should take care of most of my glue ups for things like cutting boards or panels for the CNC.

Oh yeah, the cradles are 1 inch dia (for 1/2 inch pipe), and the slots are for Bessey clamps that I have.

I added a couple of holes so I can hang them on the wall from either end.

Mike I like the story stick idea usually to expensive for me but these are reasonable. I though I would buy the 4 ft. Whats size do you have?

I am going to make a pair of 24 inchers for research and development. Could go up to 36 inches if needed without having to "tile" the work piece for the longer length.

Mike my question was what size story stick do you have. However I did figure you guys with cnc would make your own clap jig. I have already bought the four blocks. I am waiting for the 24 inch Bessy clamps to be back at home depot.

Sorry, I didn't have my brain engaged. The stick is 24 inches long. It works well for laying out repeated marks for ripping. The guides can be adjusted easily. In the past, I have made my own, but my sweetie wanted to surprise me...and she did!

Also have a set of the Story Stick Pro Offset Tabs. I use those on the stick a lot.
