I want ALL those toys!! Though I'm wondering what you do with those Jorgensen clamps??

Well, clamp things... to the bench, to each other, to hold them up, like one spends most of its time as the base for the sewing form I made about 30 years ago.

The CNC build process called for a bench press to push the bearings for the lead screws into the holes in the structural parts, and I don't have a bench press, so I ganged up two of the Jorgensen clamps: got the bearing pressed in most of the way just with one clamp, then added the other clamp for the last little bit.

One of the nice things about those clamps is you can get a very parallel, large surface clamp going on. I have 7 of them, I think? Once in a long while I use them all at once.
