Five reasons to make homemade wood clamps

The comments often read: "Easier to buy."

This statement is found in the comments for almost any homemade device..

And I agree with this - there is no point in making different devices and, in particular, clamps, if you are engaged in production.

As for hobbies, and this channel is about the hobby carpentry workshop, then it's certainly worth making homemade gadgets and tools. There are several reasons for this.

At first, making clamps is a well-spent time. After all, a hobby is, by definition, an activity that brings pleasure.

Secondly, clamps in the workshop, as you know, there is never too much, and self-made clamps will replenish the amount of this demanded tool. That is, the benefits of such work are obvious.

Thirdly, in the manufacture of clamps, you gain some experience. When making different types of clamps, it is necessary to solve different woodworking tasks, based on the skills and tools available.

Fourthmaking some types of clamps, you need to show a certain ingenuity, a kind of self-realization of invention, and this is also one of the main goals of your favorite hobby.

And fifthly, hand-made clamps are significant savings. And despite the time taken for manufacturing, homemade clamps serve for several years and are easy to repair if they break.

In addition, wooden clamps are lighter and more "softer" to compress wood.
