2/5-- More on clamps...A couple of people asked what
these are. ABS (or PVC) pipe makes a great spring clamp. An affordable
alternative to c-clamps. I got the idea from Chesapeake
Light Craft's site. (see "cheap clamps")
One note: For a canoe you'll want to beef the clamps up a bit. I found
the 1.5" width to be a little weak for canoe work. I think 2" or even
2.5" with a narrowish slot would have worked better for pulling the
gunwale tight against the hull. I made it work by alternating c-clamps
and these plastic ones. |
