Looking for Clamp Recommendations for My New Workshop

0
Asked By CraftyFox29 On

I'm just starting to set up a small workshop and I've mostly relied on trigger clamps in the past. Now, I need to pick up some more clamps for an upcoming project and I want to be more strategic about which types, brands, and sizes to get. Does anyone have suggestions for high-quality clamps that are great for general use? I'm planning on building cabinets and bookcases, so any advice would be super helpful!

If you're building something like a bookcase, I recommend using sash clamps—two per shelf should do the trick. F clamps are great for squeezing the edges together. Just be sure to use wood spreaders to avoid damaging your material. Bessey makes solid clamps, and you'll want something strong enough to get those joints tight!

Totally agree! Having an extra pair of hands can be super helpful during the glue-up too, before the glue sets.
