[TheForge] Platten table hammer in clamps?

Thu Oct 23 08:19:00 2003

Those vertical clamps look nice, but at $139, they're pricey!  Seems to
me you could get a pipe-clamp kit from Home Depot (two ends, less the
pipe) and make one from the "screw-clamp end-piece" with little trouble.
 May have to forge one end of  the (nominal 3/4") pipe to fit the acorn
table.  (I don't know whether you could use the other "end-piece" of
such a kit.  Depends on what it's like.)
