Jim,
Welcome to MSW.  If you go to the forums section you will see a new member introduction section that you should try using to let everyone know a little about yourself.

FYI, your post has no image of clamps.

Hello Jim, welcome to MSW. I echo what Allan says.

The tool-aholics here are probably all hoping to see a useful 'clamping device': I know I am ✔️

Hi All : pleas find attached pictures of several clamps that I made to deal with particular planking reaches.

Here is another clamping technique when I am close to the last planks and cant reach them.

I REALLY like the  clamps in the first photos.   Regarding the last picture, if the planks are spiled or alternatively  pre-bend the planks as demonstrated by Chuck Passaro, there is  no need for any kind of pins or clamps when gluing a strake in place.  Just a little finger pressure while the glue of your choice sets up.  I find PVA will hold a properly spiled or pre-bent plank in less than a minute.  Some members like to use CA and I am guessing that would hold in a few seconds.  Do you bevel the edges of each strake to account for the radius of the hull?

Thanks for sharing your clamp designs!!!

Hi: I usually use epoxy glue for all my planking. Even though most of the time (with lots of experience) my planks fit pretty good, I like to clamp. I have been milling castello and just recently used hickory for planks and I usually put a slight bevel on the edges, but not much. They a both pretty hard and demand some care shaping and bending. Thanks.
