Tall Tee Clamp

I occasionally need to clamp something down on my woodworking bench that is very tall, so I came up with this tall tee clamp.
| To make two tall clamps, I used: | |
| Two pieces of 5/16" threadded rod | |
| Two short 5/16" threadded rod couplers | |
| Two 5/16" by 1-1/2" tee bolts | |
| Two 5/16" nuts | |
| Two Stanley Ell brackets (1" wide and 5" long) | |
| Two tee knobs and 3/8" washers. |
I drilled a 11/64" holes in each ell bracket then drilled out the 5/16" nuts and welded them to the ell brackets.
|
| One of the clamps, you can see all it's component parts and how it is assembled. |
| Closer look at the ell bracket, the extra hole drilled parallel with one leg in the other and the drilled out 5/16" nut welded to it as a bushing. Actually I used a flat Stanley bracket and bent it, the steel was heaver guage than the ell bracket, but an ell bracket would work. |
| Krumby weld, but it holds. |
| The hole in the top leg of the ell bracket allows the threadded rod to be parallel with the other leg of the ell bracket. |
| 5/16" by 1" tee bolt with threadded rod and coupler. |
