Help with these clamps

[No Idea]

Hi Everyone 

 

Can anyone help me - I want to get some of these small C/G? Clamps and I cannot find them anywhere. 
 

If someone could please point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. 
 

Cheers Mark

Hello,

It costs less to make them. A bent aluminum dish, a threaded rod, a small handle and it's done. 😉

Hmm, maybe even easier than that @Mic_Nao

 

Looks like a countersunk head machine screw used.  Solder a matching nut on the end of the screw in lieu of a handle.  Brass bar stock instead of aluminum plate?

Those appear to be home made.  Check some of the vendors in the right column of this site's main page - I would start with Ages of Sail as most likely to have something similar.  I have a bunch of similar (but much higher quality) made by Xacto many years ago.

Search clamps bock on our main page - there have been similar home made clamps here some I believe had sketches.

Even more useful may be the home made mini wooden carpenter clamps that Ed Tosti describes here at MSW as well as in his books on the Naiad.  https://modelshipworld.com/topic/232-hms-naiad-by-edt-160-frigate-38-1797-finished/#comment-2879  Post #19.   I believe there is information somewhere by others as well on how to make them, including  https://modelshipworld.com/topic/32386-hms-winchelsea-by-tedrobinson2000-148/#comment-929601  post #14.   They are easy to make in any size.

Have you tried binder clips? Handy and cheap. Lots of different sizes available.

Hi Bob - yes I do use these but it's the deep reach that I need.  I do have lots of types of clamps including G clamps but I think the type I'm looking for will be very useful.

Just go to 'mini clamps' on Amazon and you will see anything you need.

Get these from MicroMark. They are great.

I have used these clamps several times and I like them  , LEADRISE Universal C-Clamp

  I did some planking using "1 minute" epoxy and used 'finger clamps' ... that is, I held the plank in place with both hands for the 1 - 2 minutes while it solidified enough that the mostly pre-bent plank held fast.  I either listened to music or sometimes had a movie on.  The mixing technique for just a dab of part A and part B (one gets the knack of squeezing out equal parts on a piece of scrap lumber as a mixing board), then 'patting' and swirling this amount with a forefinger tip until the temperature is felt to be rising (meaning the epoxy is 'kicking'), then dabbed to the places on the bulkheads (frames) where the plank is meant to go, wiping the excess off the finger applicator on a shop towel, then "clamping" the plank in place - usually not more than a minute.
