Great video, with simple and effective ideas.

You always have really cool tips. Another thing you can do with pipe clamps is join 2 pipes together with a threaded coupler to make a really long clamp. I made a king size bed for my daughter. I put the pipes together to make clamps long enough to glue up the head and foot boards.

No mater how much you know, you can always learn something new. Thanks for those tips.

I’m always surprised by the wealth of knowledge in each video. I’m stoked to start using pipe clamps as a vices. Friggen brilliant. Thanks for the shout out brother!

Uncle Henry's hack/jig is so freaking clever!! Definitely adding that to the clamping tool kit! The oxylic acid tip is definitely one of those OH CRAP, save your butt tips! Great video as always Izzy/Maggie!!

Another good reason for black pipe, it allows a better no slip grip by the clamp mechanism. The galvanized coating, being zinc, is soft, it gouges and slips, pushes up ridges of the zinc if you really tighten the clamp. then you have an even bigger job smoothing it out. Great tips, Izzy.

Do we want to see it!!?? Thanks for showing us!

Thank you! I make walking sticks and this will help me clamp to carve, GREAT!!!

Great tips!

Sir you made a friend today. I just about live on KZfaq and get so tired of so many guys all full of themselves and also vulgar mouths. You sir are deeply appreciated because you are brilliant with very useful tips but also you are clearly a nice guy who just wants to help and without any arrogance. Thank you for that. Can’t wait to watch all your videos and heap on the thumbs ups!

Thank you for this one. Well needed information. Last year I stopped at a yard sale and was looking at a couple black iron pipe clamps. A guy stopped and looked at them and pointed out one of the pipes was bent a little, which I had already noticed. Then he gave every reason why these are worthless and he'd never waste his money on them. After he finally shut up and walked away, I grabbed the two pipe clamps, and paid the $5.00 each and left. One pipe needed to be replaced. Still using them.

I don't care what others say, these tips are great! Great ideas for buying pipes, never even thought about it.

Thanks, never get enough knowledge. 40 plus years in the trade and still learning.

This one of the best ideas I've seen in a good while. Be safe.

im with you, pipe clamps are great. I am using that great idea to put gasket material on the clamps. Thanks

Great tips, Maggie! When I took a class recently from Alex, he told us to get the 10' sections of black pipe and get the threading kit from Harbour Freight. Sure wish Izzy would talk.

I just love my pipe clamps, and use them often. I learned a couple of new tricks today, and for that I thank you. 👍 I use Bessey 1/2" clamps. I like them because they have real crank handles, as opposed to the whimpy bars you often see in the lesser versions and they have 'extenders' on the bottom side that keep you from racking your knuckles as you crank down tension on the handles. Pipe clamps are designed to be used with BLACK pipe. Never forget this. Galvanized pipe is slightly larger in diameter than black pipe, making the tailstock harder to adjust and the galvanized zinc coating is quite soft, which can cause the tailstock to slip, losing your clamping pressure. Black pipe can be a pain in the tukus, but taking a moment once or twice a year to maintain the pipes themselves will insure proper...and happy... experiences. I use Izzy's method of buying pipe...slightly. If I need 12" clamps for gluing up stock for ... hmm, let's say legs, I will buy 24" pipes and cut them in half. I do keep at least a half dozen of each length (on the foot...like one foot, two foot, etc) up to 5' long and change the pipes out depending upon my needs. Don't pay too much attention to the pipe clamps haters. They just don't know how to use and/or care for a tool that dates back to Gramps time. Care for your headstock (the actual clamping pieces) and care for your black pipe, and you'll be a happy 'clamper'!

Dayum Izzy, awesome!

That TNT clamp rack is da bomb!

Just ordered 4 bessey clamps + black pipes and some female couplers so I can put two pipes together (surprised you didnt show this one.. extend pipes for longer stuff with couplers). These seem so much stronger, longer lasting and largely better than the 2x to 3x clamps and so much more versatile.

Great tips. I find that liquid Goof Off on a rag takes the black coating of well. And If I'm super worried about the finish, I'll size the clamps close (within a couple of inches of the final panel size, and put blue painter's tape on the pipe. That also means any glue squeeze out just gets stripped off with the tape.

Some great tips here. Thanks.

GREAT! video - as always, great information - Thanks for sharing

Hands down fantastic tips I will use. Thank you Izzy!

thanks as all ways!

I usually figure if I can get one or two useful tips from a KZfaq video it is worthwhile watching. For this one, though the tips just kept flowing and so fast that it was hard to take them all in. I had to watch it three times to fully appreciate everything. Destined to be a classic.

I always love you ideas

LOVE IT!!

It’s not often I watch a video with something I’ve never seen or thought of. Everything in this was new and spectacular. Thanks for sharing!

I use parallel bar clamps and I feel like they are superior in almost every category.

Thank you Izzy, love your videos!

Love you videos and your humor. Great tips and some amazing projects.

We use contact cement and thin blocks of pine or bass wood, 1/4”-3/8” is nice and it’s around the shop,,, always! Also a light sand on the face of the clamp helps the adhesive stick!

Thanks for the tips Izzy. Always enjoy your content.

Great video & more excellent tips & tricks Izzy! Hope that all of you guys are doing well!

Brilliant!

Thanks for sharing those tips and the make!

Thank you for sharing your tips and ticks.This will greatly help my shop!

Izzy is the man👍

Great video Izzy. You've given me a great info. and great ideas as always. Thank you so much Sir. God Bless Stay Safe.

Those tips are worth my sub

Love the clamp rack that’s fantastic.

Thank you for another video full of great ideas, Izzy! The TNT system (and JLT) look fantastic. I like that they're modular/expandable. I may whip up a few of them with a few tweaks of my own. All the best, Andrew Thiessen

Excellent video. I would expect that most of us have some pipe clamps already and now we have even more uses for them !! Thanks!,

Wonderful video! I learned some neat tricks! Thank you ❤

Very nice info on pipe clamps. They really are very versatile and flexible with just a little thought and imagination.

Thank you for your advices👍😁. Helps out a lot 👌😄

Very cool tips. Thanks for your videos. They motivate and inspire.

Great ideas for clamping

I wanted to pipe up seeing this, yet I will clamp up. 🆙👍

I LOVE these ideas! I need more clamps (I mean, who doesn't). I will take your tips and tricks into account for sure. The add-on to the work bench is a GREAT idea! It also means I dont' need to buy a bunch of dog-hole tools. Great ideas... keep 'em coming!!

Yo that pipe clamp rack is 🤯!

Great episode!

Thank you great ideas

What a great video! Some excellent tips that I'll be using in my hand tool shop. Found a stashj of 36" abandonned galvanized pipes in the old shed here at the complex. Timfe to start threading 'em. 5-Stars love you shows and shop. Retired carpenter age 72 in Michigan.

Excellent tips and ideas to ponder for work flow. Thank you 🎈

Great tips. Thx.

Pipe panel clamp rack looks very cool

thanks izzy and Maggie that was a great tip session will do some of those

So innovative. As always, Izzy and Maggie, thank you for sharing 🌞

Thanks for this. More pipe clamp tips, please!

You never disappoint, Izzy :)

Fantastic video.

Great idea 💡 👍 👏

I love my pipe clamps. Bought 8 Bessey's. I also bought 4 10 foot black 3/4 pipes and cut them in half with a sawsall. Since they are threaded on both ends, and you only need one end this gives me 8 pieces of pipe with threaded ends on all of them. Smooth out the ends with some sand paper and attach the heads, good to go. I wanted Parallel clamps, but I just couldn't afford them. I needed 48" clamps, and the Bessy's were fine. Also, buy the 10' not the little 4 foot sections, they cost just as much. Buy the longer one and cut it to size. For the pads, Bessy's came with rubber slip on pads. Those work fine. The cork covering, I might want to look into that. FInally, I wish I had your workbench. The size of it is great.

Never seen any of these tips before and they were all fantastic and really useful. That TNT rack is nothing short of brilliant! Thanks for the link. BTW - I also like Andy's cork rubber, but it is pricey. A cost effective alternative is to use a Baler Belt and cut it into smaller pieces. I have Tractor Supply Co near me, and you can pick these up off the shelf and they are good grippy protection for all things vise related.

Thanks for the advice and tips. I'm still a "beginner" in the woodshop and I can always do with some advice. So thank you for steering me in a good direction.

Thank you sir, harvested some great ideas from your video.

Awesome Izzy thanks for the TNT shout out they are local to my area and I have one of their racks... Love it!!! Great guys

Great tips, gives me some other ideas to try myself. I always used the black pipe, but never thought about waxing the pipe. I’ll have to give that a try too! Just goes to show you can never stop learning better ideas from others! Provided your open minded enough to realize you don’t know everything and others just might have a better way to make your life easier and/or quicker if you’ll just take the time to listen to what someone else figured out you never did yourself! Sometimes ideas are so simple, you wonder why you never thought of it yourself too?

Man - Thank you. I would have NEVER thought of your ideas. Terrific. 👊🤜🤛
