This is probably the best and cheapest hold down clamp I have ever used!
4" PVC pipe cut on the bandsaw
3" hanger screw with 1/4" bolt
1/4"x 20 knob
May your sails be full & your glass never be empty!

Wow, thanks David; I have been needing some hold downs. These look great and I think I have a piece of 4" saved. Nice. |

Yes, I agree with everyone who has responded. I am continually amazed by solutions which seem so utterly OBVIOUS....but I don't think of them until someone like you shows them to me. Many thanks. Patrick |

The idea came to me around 3am & a few brewskis! I have paid lots of money for hold downs, but this just makes more sense! I used a 6 inch piece of pipe and flattened it out a little bit with a heat gun and I have a long reach. It flexes just the right amount to push down and it feels very secure May your sails be full & your glass never be empty! |
