Video of my DIY version of Rockler's Pock-it Hole Clamp

...and I know the video quality is pretty crappy with the wood pieces washing out in the light. Sorry about that.

Neat. I enjoyed the video. Versatile in many applications.

For just plain face frames, I think I'd just mount a couple of 2x4 pieces at right angles on a piece of plywood and attach hold down clamps. Of course that doesn't work for any joint not a flush corner.

Be careful there Mike. You don't want to get the Rockler people mad at you!

Looks interesting. Sometimes you just have to go out to the shop to make something. I know. It is in our blood.

You're joking, right. (didn't see a smiley)

What did the cam toggle clamp cost? Was it cheap enough to make it worthwhile not to buy the $20 Rockler clamp version ?

I guess the big advantage to your home made clamp is that you can make it any size you want and you got to spend a little quality time in the shop building somethat that actually works as it should.

I don't remember what the toggle cost, because it was years ago. That particular kind is much more than the metal ones, which can be found on ebay for under 5 bucks.

I did a homemade version of that plastic toggle clamp out of oak once, but I think I recycled it. It might be time to do some more.

If you have knobs, threaded rod and t-nuts around, (like most of us do for jigs), you could whip out a cranking one, like Rockler's.

I may go all out on a couple with an adjustable pin and some other goodies.

If the Rockler's are ever 50% off, it would be silly not to buy a couple.

You don't know??

Oh, never mind.

I'll just give myself a on that one. :-)

Hey good job. I enjoyed the video
