Get the step-by-step plans to build 5 Shop-Made Clamps (including these Deep Reach Clamps) here: https://www.woodsmithplans.com/plan/5...

(***This video is an excerpt from Episode 1310: Shop-Made Clamps that originally aired on PBS in November 2019.) You don't have to be woodworking very long before you run into situations where ordinary bar clamps just won't get the job done. Woodworking catalogs feature a variety of specialty clamps, but it's hard to justify their price for occasional use. On the other hand, with just a few pieces of wood and some inexpensive hardware you can make your own special-purpose clamps like the Deep Reach Clamps seen in this video. These clamps can reach parts of a project that others just can't, and if you build them you'll find them pretty handy in your shop too.
