Rubber-Strip Clamp

O

NE OF THE MOST VERSATILEclamps in my shop is a 1-in.-wide
strip of rubber from an old inner tube that I cut in a continu-
ous spiral. I’ve used the clamp for some of my trickiest jobs, like
edging plywood, clamping picture frames, regluing chair legs, and
repairing a gusset brace on an antique chair. The strip is also handy as
a supplement to conventional clamps on some jobs. But versatility is
not the clamp’s only advantage; it costs nothing and will never mar
the wood.
