(Jorgenson hand screw clamp)

First I open my Jorgensen size 3 hand screw clamp, hereafter known as the hand clamp... wider than the piece of wood I'm working on. With the clamp at the back of the band saw blade and the wood at the front, screw in the front of the clamp to grab the wood behind the area to be cut.

This will work with either the top cuts or the side cuts (if the wood isn't too big.

This works great, even if the clamp is mostly off the band saw table!

I've included enough hints to try to get you to check out my plans, what the heck, I think I'll even put some links on the bottom of the page :-). I hope you can use this, maybe even send me one of your favorite woodwork tips for my tips and hints page.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by, Leonard
