For twenty bucks I got twenty'ish of the Pony 3" spring clamps in a bag. Holy cow, they're about 3 or 4 bucks each. Actually, I have so many clamps now I don't use most of them but for once in a blue moon. I made a project for the oldest for Christmas this year that used them but first time in a couple/three years. Even that project only used a little over half of the spring clamps. The finished project, a cart from Purpleheart to fit their cutting board..which I had to beltsand down to flat. Belt sanding is always a scary business and I tried to get a friend who has one of those monster 36" sander/planer commercial units to do it on his machine but he was gone for the holidays and I was stuck. It turned out ok, though....this time.
