Thanks to a tip I read here, I picked up a couple of these at 9.99
apiece. I finally got around to trying them out. I was slapping
together a quick utility shelf to hold a couple of battery chargers in
my garage.

Lots of nice scenery pics there Greg.

Not nearly enough. (so many more places to see than I'll ever get to)
Thanks for the kind words. Photography has been a hobby for a lot longer
than woodworking.

I may try fastening another couple of scraps together sometime soon,
to see if the clamps are more workable when properly set for the hold
depth. Oh, and having a permanent, usable home for the battery
chargers is a lovely thing indeed.

I bought a clamp but haven't used it yet. Normally, I press the two
pieces against my saw fence by hand and screw them together, no clamps,
no problem. I'm thinking the clamp might be a solution to a
non-existent problem.

Sounds sensible enough, although I don't have a table saw. This is what
I did for my first Kreg project:

The piece of black melamine was used as a spacer. Looking at the photo,
it occurs to me that the Pock-It clamps might not have been of any use
in that situation anyway, as the offset is large and the clamp's "throw"
may not have been long enough. They were 9.99 each. I'm pretty sure I'll
get $20 of use out of them.
