    Simplest solution I’ve seen for clamp jaw extenders. Thanks for that.



  8. mandie carlile on September 25, 2022 at 12:49 am

    Thank you! Simple solutions to many of my problems.

    You know you say your name totally wrong…Knecht was the name of the people/ kids that lived at the farmers house and worked for their food. They had little primitive rooms, no heater. Just some wood walls separating the bitter cold outside. They usually couldn’t afford shoes and their parents β€œgave” them to farmers because they were so poor and at least their kids could still eat working at farmers.



  10. Kraig Elliott on September 25, 2022 at 12:52 am

    Great video. Loved the simple C-clamp idea about hanging them upside down. I have always had to tighten mine down to keep them from slipping off.



  11. Kerry Foster on September 25, 2022 at 12:53 am

    Great tips , well presented in an easy and friendly manner. I wish all tips videos were as watchable as yours!



  12. Ivo Kolarik on September 25, 2022 at 12:54 am

    Have you tried for edging bicycle tube cut in short stripes and attached to spring clamps?



  13. Andrew Garratt on September 25, 2022 at 12:55 am

    Those bar clamp extensions…
    You come up with that yourself ?
    I cannot believe I never thought about it…or seen it …and I’ve got about 38 antique/vintage books on woodworking that detail more elaborate yet far less functional concepts to achieve the same thing.
    If that’s your idea…you should be proud!..that’s a game changer for sure!
    I restore antiques and am in constant need of unusual clamping concepts.
    That idea changed my life for the better in a small way. πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ˜



  14. Jerry Campbell on September 25, 2022 at 12:55 am

    Cork/silicone pads for a non-marring surface….so simple, yet so obvious, once you point it out!
    Good tip!



  15. rogerthat on September 25, 2022 at 12:56 am

    The extension bar is awesome! I could have used that a while ago. I’m going to make it with some scrap I have lying around.



  16. Doug Prentice on September 25, 2022 at 12:57 am

    nice tips



  17. Joe M on September 25, 2022 at 12:58 am

    Does any one ever use a biscuit joiner thanx



  18. Adriano Hedler on September 25, 2022 at 12:58 am

    Bottle caps are also good for "C" clamps. I use them in pieces that I do not want to scratch, and they’re free. Good video!



  19. Stephanie Garfield on September 25, 2022 at 12:58 am

    Great tips.



  20. redtwin1968 on September 25, 2022 at 12:58 am

    I’m thinking of building the c-clamp bar on my work bench that you showed. What about putting the flat bar on the inside of the front legs so that the claps are a little further under the top and out of the way? Any issues you see with this?



  21. VelvetNightmare313 on September 25, 2022 at 12:58 am

    Love it!



  22. Raccoons on September 25, 2022 at 1:00 am

    Great video!



  23. Eileen Jones on September 25, 2022 at 1:00 am

    Whoops, I left out the β€œfelt”, apply a 1” Strip of felt with double sided tape to the dust collector frame. This acts as a gasket.



  24. Redstrom Reptiles on September 25, 2022 at 1:01 am

    Another hack for clamps is run a piece of 2in blue tape down the clamp and the glue squeeze out lands on it and when done clamping can pull it off easy clean up.



  25. Moran Guy on September 25, 2022 at 1:02 am

    Great video about clamps



  26. Bear Creek Woodworking on September 25, 2022 at 1:02 am

    Great Ideas!



  27. Richie Allen on September 25, 2022 at 1:05 am

    When utilizing "peel and stick" anything mare sure to clean the surface you are sticking to. I know this, but often forget to do it, or just try to brush the dust off with a finger. WHen I take the time to clean the surface it always stays.



  28. Buddy Carroll on September 25, 2022 at 1:05 am

    Thx. for the clamping tips. I’m a wood carver, bear hand carvings of all sizes and chainsaw bear carving for years. And I do use clamps for many purposes.

    I like the extensions.. Now I have a project to keep me busy this week.
    As far as the term ‘hacks’ ? Ehhh.. Just call em modifications. Hacks sounds like it’s some super secret stuff that requires a secret hand shake or something.. It’s not that complicated Collin.. lol



  35. Hans de Groot on September 25, 2022 at 1:21 am

    Very useful hacks/tips. Thanks for sharing.

  41. Todd Holaday on September 25, 2022 at 1:29 am

    Some great ideas here. Thanks!
    I particularly like the simple edge banding method and will use it.



  42. roo1981 rattag on September 25, 2022 at 1:31 am

    Hey Colin. Thanks for the new tips. We have just been doing a room divider using MDF AND PUTTING 5mm Parota plywood on its faces. You tip on edging plywood with a wood edge with painters tape in theory would this work putting the plywood on the MDF using the same method?



  43. Ken Carrano on September 25, 2022 at 1:32 am

    Thanks Colin great, useful tips! -Ken
