Namaste
I really like this style of clamp and wanted to share the method I use to make them. It requires a bit of welding to make the clamping mechanism.
The clamping mechanism is made by welding 12mm nuts to opposite sides of a 14mm coupling. The 12mm nuts hold short lengths of 12mm threaded rod to hold metal bars and act as a hinge. A longer 14mm threaded rod is used to apply force to the workpiece by tightening it using a socket in a drill. The stop end of the clamp is similar only it has a stop block instead of a clamping mechanism. The stop block is as high as the clamping mechanism nuts and as wide as the top wooden bar of the clamp. It is 2.5 times longer than the width. There is a 12mm hole drilled near the beck to receive a 12mm threaded rod. The clamp wooden bars are made of reclaimed pine and have holes drilled at 10cm intervals.

I like the idea of DIY and making my own Tools, especially if it is a Tool that is not easily found or readily available. Handmade Tools give great satisfaction and for me it is fun knowing that I created something to help me better improve my woodworking experience.
