Deep Reach Clamps
Shop-made, deep reach clamps. They’re perfect for gluing up a big panel, and won’t break the woodworking budget in the process.
Big clamps aren’t often needed, but when they’re called for, there’s really no substitute. And buying a pair of the same size F-style clamps you see here will set you back on the money you’re saving for that new power tool. This low-cost alternative is a win-win in my book. It’s always fun to do a project that integrates hardware that’s out of the norm (barrel screws and a big ol’ Acme threaded rod). Plus, you can overcome some of the weak-points of store-bought clamp designs.

Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.

Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
