would come in handy from time to time for a big project that needs
clamping then when you are done you can use the 2 bys for something
else


That picture looks like it was set up by the art department. I would
have to assume that any woodworker would position the movable jaw such
that the crank handle was past the end of the 2x4. What a pain it would
be to tighten it where it is now.


Slide, turn, slide, turn, slide, turn. I've often had to position C-clamps such that I
couldn't make full turns with the handle.


I'm pretty sure you could get 3/4" pipe clamp hardware + a pretty long
pipe for about the same amount.
