Another clamp adaptable to many situations is made from a simple loop of strong cord looped around the job, with a stick inserted in the loop. Twist the loop of cord with the stick which will shorten the loop and exert considerable force squashing what ever lies within. |

Use another short length at the other end with a heftyish screw or bolt, (so that it will swivel slightly) then knock a small wedge into the gap between your work and the swivelling end piece.

Might use the chord thing for gluing up some wooden hexagons in the future. |

Simon, I reckon it needs some gilding and a few finials adding :lol: |

I've already started engraving it. My dream has always been to own a set of shelves that are impossible to clean. |

Those shelves are looking good. Maybe a tiled back-splash? :clap: [/quote]Might use the chord thing for gluing up some wooden hexagons in the future.[/quote] Re the hexagons, a length of rubber surgical tubing makes a great clamp for odd shapes, lock it under itself at one end, wrap around to the the other end and tuck.
