HF has sales for about $3.48... well worth it considering it is a pipe
clamp. I have some of them, but a bunch of bessey's and cabinet
masters... Like them all. Don't bother with quick grips for big glue
ups.. they don't have the necessary pull

Well, I'm starting back from my winter hiatus.

I was going through a dry run glue up tonight and realized that I don't have
clamps long enough for what I'm trying to do. I have the quick grip type
clamps - 36" and 24" variety. But I need to clamp about 40" wide.

I thought I had seen somewhere before how to combine two clamps together to
make a longer one. Was this on the quick grip style clamps or another kind?
Or am I going to have to resort to buying more clamps?

Thanks
