Small Wooden Clamps


Recommended Posts

Group,

 

I am ashamed to post this question but I was reviewing some of the MSW posts today and came across a post revealing some beautiful handmade wooden clamps used for holding the frames together.  I failed to save this and have been looking for the post as well as the individual who made these.  They used thumb nuts and 8-32 brass machine screws, I think, as well as boxwood for the body of the clamp. I have some very small versions of these clamps with brass rods tapped to receive the adjustment screw which were sold years ago.  

 

Can someone help me with this.  I would also like to know if they tapped the boxwood portion or added something within the wood.  It was not clear in the photo to me.

 

Thanks

Bill

Richard,

 

Thanks for the quick reply and help.  This is not the exact post I was referring to but is the same concept.  It is very helpful.
