Q A's Revenge Posted October 13, 2013 #1 Posted October 13, 2013 Not sure if this has posted before but small versions of these clamps may be useful if you have the tools to make them. DaveG 1 Quote
Q A's Revenge Posted October 27, 2013 Author #2 Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) I've also discovered this book, which has clear instructions on making many types of clamps including the Jorgensen type. Lots of other useful stuff in the book as well. http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Resourceful-Woodworker-Techniques-Tricks/dp/0713464852/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382864241&sr=8-1&keywords=The+resourceful+woodworker I bought a very good used copy for 1p, plus postage of course!

Modeler12 Posted October 27, 2013 #3 Posted October 27, 2013 Interesting. The problem with making your own Jorgensen screw clamps is that you need to be able to cut left handed thread for both the screw and the nut inside. I have a number of the threaded bars with both left and right handed threads, but never bothered to invest in a matching tap for the nuts. Besides, the ones I have are way too big for modeling.

Q A's Revenge Posted October 27, 2013 Author #4 Posted October 27, 2013 All the other clamps in the book use conventional threads so are straightforward to make. The author even explains how to make them without a thread Tap. Quote
