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

With all the talk in the other thread, I decided to throw one these
together in the shop.
It's obviously a very rough prototype, but it worked very well and took
less than an hour to build. I also used a cam toggle clamp so it is a lot
faster than tightening a knob screw.

I found that I still had to exert a lot of pressure down, as I drove in
the screws, to keep the pieces from steady. I generally clamp both pieces
down to the table when driving pocket hole screws, so this was something I
hasn't foreseen. I suppose I could've clamped them down to the table,
after clamping them together.

In any case, I think you could build your own with little effort/time and
make it better than the Rockler version.

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.
