Nice idea Kelly. I have used the small and large Jorgensen clamps for smaller items when making my boxes. They sit down nice and flat to ensure verticle cuts, but may consider trying these.

Cool idea . and good build, do you think some 100 grit PSA sand paper on the jaws would give you a better bite on what you’re clamping?

These are cheap enough to make, I shape the jaws. I think sandpaper, rubber and what have you would be an improvement. The apply a lot of force, but somethings still need the jaws shaped. Maybe a couple layers of rubber or foam would be good, since it would mold around items.
