Bar clamps garage sale find - toolmiser - 03-24-2018
I found these clamps at an estate sale for $8.00 each. Three 3' and one 4'. They are the hd ibeam type. I know they are a little overkill for most woodworking, but I couldn't resist. I would have kicked myself later if I had passed on them. For once I saw them in a picture in the craiglist garage sale ad, it had been open for a couple hours when I got there. I also got a Porter Cable router for $20.00-that needs a new cord. First sale for me this season, I will be broke if I find this much every week, plus I (we've) been trying to sell some of the excess.

We had those in high school shop class, on a glue table. Man those things can bring the pressure.

We had them in high school shop class too, but they weren't on a glue table. They were on a rack on the "other" side of the Shop - and they were HEAVY.
I frequently will have six or more K-Body clamps on a project. It is heavy moving it off the work bench. I can't imagine using that many of those on a project - and moving it off the work bench.

For that price, you can cut them down to whatever size you want and still have a gloat. Nice score on those.

I found some of those at an estate sale a few years back. I used them once.

Those are nice clamps. I found a stash of nearly 75 of them awhile back. I cleaned them up, kept a few and sold off the rest. They're dang nice clamps for certain things...

I have four-24" and four-48" of those heavy duty clamps. Used rarely, but when needed, they're the strongest.
My favorite clamps? Universal/Dubuque aluminum bar clamps, and I got a crapload, up through 6' long. Lightweight and plenty of pressure, as long as I do my job. I have Bessey K-body, but rarely use them.

My favorite big clamps. 6 of mine are 5'ers.
New, those 36" are about $40.00 now, if you can find them in stock somewhere.

The glue table was neat. It was basically a bench w/o a top. instead it had two wide stringers with notches every 6" or so, you'd place the clamps in the notches.
If my shop had room, I'd make a glue table like that.
