Saturday afternoon brought an odd visitor. I was downstairs watching football when I heard my dog bark, something he never does. I ran upstairs to find a delivery on my doorstep that I had completely forgotten about:
Woodcraft had a clearance on these 3.5″ F-style clamps this past week and I had ordered 10. I was able to put them to immediate use, holding together some butt-joined shelf supports:
While we’re on the subject of clamps, I have once again run into a time that I needed more clamps, putting together the crib cabinet sides:
I had enough large parallel clamps to hold each side together end-to-end, but not enough F-style clamps to hold more than one panel together top-to-bottom. This one panel used all eight large F-style clamps I own, which means I had to wait for the glue to set on this panel before I could assemble the second.
The moral of the story?
I need more clamps!
