Deep Reach Clamps

These shop-made, deep reach clamps are perfect for gluing up a big panel, but won’t break the woodworking budget either.

Take on oversized glue-ups with confidence using these shop-built Deep Reach Clamps. This downloadable, step-by-step woodworking plan shows you how to build sturdy, long-reach clamps that rival commercial F-style clamps—at a fraction of the cost.

Whether you're gluing up large panels or working on projects that need extra depth, these clamps deliver rock-solid performance. The clever design features a strong, slip-resistant bar made from hard maple and custom hardware like Acme threaded rods and barrel nuts—giving you greater clamping power and reliability than many store-bought versions.

Perfect for woodworkers who want to save money and enjoy building their own tools, this project turns a few pieces of hardwood and hardware into workshop workhorses. Build one pair or a full set tailored to your needs.
