How to squeeze the most out of your clamps.
No woodworker has enough clamps.
This tape tries to rectify that situation. After discussing all
of the attributes of ZebraWood in the exotic wood segment, the
Woodguy answers questions from the mail about the "dove-tail
splice," a seemingly impossible joint that has a dovetail
on every side of the splice.
The "Tricks of the trade" segment reveals a long-forgotten
old-timer's technique for gluing up a picture frame without clamps,
which works well for circular and oval frames as well. This section
includes a mini-history of clamps and shows how to modify "store-bought"
clamps to make them even more useful. "C" clamps, band
clamps, bar clamps, pipe clamps, quick clamps, wonder dogs and
holdowns are covered in detail. The Woodguy clamps up a tabletop
and shows you ways to keep the ends from checking. Then he shows
how to glue up rectangular, circular and oval picture frames.
He also shows and explains various kinds of clamp racks.
In the "Save Your Money" segment, Woodguy offers his
viewers an exclusive factory discount from one of America's best
clamp manufacturers.
In the Traveling segment, the Woodguy visits the shop of master
cabinetmaker Jerry Chambers, who has made quite a name for himself
restoring antiques, china, porcelain and glass figurines and oil
paintings, as well as building custom furniture.
