Clamping with Metal Strapping

W

HENI NEEDED A LARGEnumber of expensive webbing clamps
for a run of chairs, I improvised this clamp. First retrieve a
supply of metal strapping from the lumberyard scrap bin. Cut the
strapping to the approximate length needed. Attach wooden blocks to
each end with^3 ⁄ 16 -in. bolts and nuts. Use a C-clamp or Quick-Grip
clamp to tighten.
