Well, ok, not exactly getting a 20" bandsaw for $100 dollars or something, but a customer came over to check on one of his guitar that was being restored, and he took these out and asked if I needed them.

Needless to say these things will be really helpful, those things aren't cheap in Taiwan.

It's so true that you can never have too many clamps. Good score!

Yea, and the thing about clamps is, they are not as expensive as say a bandsaw (which is of course a big one time investment) but since you need a lot of them, $20 dollars a pop is a lot when you have to buy 30 of them...

That's cool, Tai. You've obviously built up some goodwill with your clients when they start bringing you tools.

For many years, back when I lived by a Home Depot, every time I went in I bought some type of clamp, just 1, as often that was what I could afford, but as time went on, little by little I ended up with lots of clamps. When broke, I would just buy 1 little orange spring clamp, when I had money, big Bessey's.

Now I just need one of those things that you put on a bridge to allow you to clamp an entire bridge with one clamp...

Simple to make.
