I am in the middle of restoring an amazing English drop leaf candle stand made from great old English Oak. I have become quite fond of English Oak or Oak in general and look forward to working with it more in my work.
The table came into the shoppe because a leg needed to reattached, another leg was loose, and a few fragments of the post started to crack and fail. While gluing the parts back to their locations, I quickly noticed that from the broad selection/style of clamps I own nothing was going to work.
This is where the infamous upholstery springs came to the rescue again. The clamps get cut with wire cutters and the tips get ground or filed to blunt tip. I love these clamps because they give me the desired pressure where it is needed. These clamps are easy to make and I highly recommend having many on hand. I often use them for so many clamping situations.
