Greetings!

Awhile back I I found myself in need of a small, light duty clamping jig. I drew up a quick sketch and made this with a plywood and wood screws. It has proven way more useful than I could have imagined. At some point I'm gonna rework it and make one specifically for the drill press.

So what does it do? Pics did not disciple anything special?

A wooden vise using bar clamps.

Yep, that's pretty much what it is. The nice thing is that I can move it between machines and clamp it to their work table for various purposes.

It helps to make square boxes square; i.e. parallel sides paralle.

Neat little jig.

Genius! When are you going to post the plans?

Nicely done! If you ever build another, I wonder if adding a second set of miter slots perpendicular to the set you have would add even more versatility to the jig?

It could do a two way glue-up, However, What you have built is very nice!!!!!!

Thanks guys,

Necessity is the mother on invention LOL. I'll see if I can find my written plans and I'll scan them for ya.

There are a few things I'd do differently but it works for now. I'm sure I'll make at least one more for the drill press that can be drilled through.
