Clamps...- mulitfunction tools

The other day I was doing one of those big glue and clamp jobs& and just couldnt find my last clamp& looking widely around the shed for an alternative I picked up the Plumber Stillson Wrench&

What you need:
>Plumber Pipe wrench (big enough to span your edges)
>Regular clamp
>Your project
>Scrap wood to protect the project

Step 1 1.) pre tension

First put the regular clamp on close to where you want to position the Pipe wrench, and do it up tight. - sufficient to press the parts to gether to the desired requirement

Thats a good idea!
For small projects, I use spring binder clips as they are easier to use than clamps.
Here is an example : http://www.instructables.com/id/Camera-Phone-Tripod-Mount/

Stillson wrench? You learn something new everyday. We always refer to 'em as pipe wrenches.

stilsons have a slightly wobbly head compared to your average wrench. It makes them really grip round tubes when you twist. They're very effective at getting stuck round stuff, twisted unstuck.

I use large abs plastic pipe cut in short lengths with a slit down the side. They make great clamps. and cheap too.
