This is for you guys who think you've got to have a whole load of
the world's most expensive clamps before you can operate. Personally,
most of my clamps are homemade cam clamps, from about 12" to 48".

Two words. Ply wood. I figure my clamps probably average out at
about $.25 U.S. each, possibly less, possibly more. No way more than
about $1 each, using new plywood.
But, you use whatever you want.
I've posted plans for cam clamps at least twice, probably more.
Check the archives. And, of course, you probably don't have that link.
So:

Or, just google for cam clamp plans. By the way, I use the cam
clamp principle in my planer sleds too. It ain't rocket science.

Yep, and I'd even saved your pics in my "stuff to build" directory. The
question was simply a terse way of saying, "please add slightly more
information to your comment so that newbies who haven't seen your cam
clamp posts will have a better notion of how easy they are to build."

Fancy clamps are for straightening out the bow in a board while the glue
dries. :~)
