Clamp Extensions   3                                                9-2022

 

Clear Finish

 

I didn't want anything to rust so I'm giving all the steel pieces a coat of clear finish.
 

 

 

My paint booth is on my side yard.
 

 

 

Assembly

 

Here are all the pieces. The 3/8 bolts go through the bushings and hold everything together.
 

 

 

The Bessey clamps fit nice and tight while they're nested in the clamp extensions, with little to no movement.
 

 

 

It's Finished

 

The bolts are installed and they're all tightened down.
 

 

 

Here you can the sandwich that I made.
 

 

 

With the movable jaw reversed here, I'm able to hold a very long piece now.
 

 

 

Looks like I'm able to clamp over 76 inches now, which should work for about any of my future projects. These were fun to make, are very strong and should last a very long time.
