Getting a bunch of clamps!

A current limitation that I have in the garage when I assemble my CNC projects is clamps – it seems there are never enough of them laying around! When I cut stuff with my ShopBot Desktop, I prefer to cut several models at once then the next day, put them together then the next day, do the filming of me presenting the model.

Part of being in business is removing irritants or limitations, one of which was only having one bar clamp… in a few days, that number will grow 30x! Unlike the spring clamps, I need a steady supply of bar clamps as well for wheels and longer parts.

In a few months I’ll also be filming the assembly of all my laser models in addition to new CNC projects so clamps will be at a premium – especially for the larger models I have planned! Luckily for me, if all goes according to plan and I get my hands on a 3D printer (ZPrinter 250 by 3D Systems)… I can maybe start “printing” my own clamps!
