They were not just clamps.......many of them seemed to be Bessey clamps!
By the way, I saw a L N plane in one of your pictures, and that reminds me of someone being battered recently by some fanboys of L N at another forum because he said L N's manufacturing could be improved. The onslaught of responses was, for the lack of a better word, brutal. Many woodworkers are narrow-minded; what can ya say.

I used to fabricate solid surface tops so I have ton of these clamps (and practice)
It takes a bit of finessing for sure to keep faces in line. Just a slight tweak up or down makes a big difference.

I need to update my pics. This is a few years ago.

Trying to find a pic of one of my bendable handrail installs. Usually takes 50-100 clamps if it's a severe bend. That's why I have so many C-clamps.

Judging from the tool cases seen in the third picture, I think he's the power version of Bandit (who hoards hand tools).
