I know this was a few years ago now, but this is the first video of yours I have come across and I had to say how much I like your approach to designing the things you make. These clamps and the belt sander are simple, easy to make and extremely robust. Most "maker" type would fall short on every one of these, the trend is to make things which are overly complicated, awkward to make, expensive in components and not actually working that well.

Of the thousands of DIY videos out there, this is one of a handful that I actually found useful, well done, and something I am going to make. I may just subscribe simply because of Your attitude and sense of humor. Well done.

genius ! thats the tutorial i was looking for , im gonna make them. Cheers from Argentina!

Hey Cosmas, continue making these videos!! You're such a nice guy. Hope you get that patreon suport really soon!

Immer wieder genial wie du spezielle Kommentare schon sarkastisch im Voraus beantwortest.

Awesome f clamp build! I'm very proud of you going the distance to fully rock those out. Can't wait for the belt sander videos. That thing looks like you wouldn't want to drop it on your toe. Heavy duty!

Another excellent video Cosmas. Unfortunately I can not help you from my country. We, in Venezuela, are living a disaster but I will be praying for you, your family and your excellent talent. May GOD continue blessing you!!!

Really nice! This is gonna be one of the first project Ill do when I finally get into welding.

Congratulations is the best sergeant tutorial that I have seen for your clear explanation and simplicity at the moment of doing it greetings from Mexico

I've seen many videos about F-Clamps..C-Clamps building. In my opinion this is the best of all. Congratulation!

Perfect my friend, just perfect, I am about to need a couple of this kind of clamps, but instead of buying them I am going to make them and by the way I am going to make sure I have good strong clamps I can relay on them. Thank you so much!!

Well done mate. Excellent workmanship and one of the best videos I have seen in years. Keep up the good work and do us all a favor.

very well made bar clamps,last for year's, no doubt it gave you pleasure making them,gets my thumbs up.

The cross pin is absolutely necessary. I've made these clamps many times over the years and after some use the handles will slip on the threaded rod if you don't have a pin to stop them or small bolt going through the handle and rod. You did a really good job with the clamps. Great job done well.

You are starting to be really funny. :D This is most enjoyable! Watched only one minute and already gave thumb up!

How have I not known about your channel until now? So glad to find it, thanks for all the great content!

I took your advice and held my breath all day. Now I'm dead, thanks!

Very simple, strong and durable. Great work. Thumbs up young man.

Great video man! Thoroughly enjoyed watching the build. Hope your Patreon funding goes well and you get to make many more of these great video tutorials.

Great clamps, good explanation. Made on your example. Thanks for the video.

in my shop i have lathes, mills, CNC machines, drills and all kinds of fabrication means. last month I started working with wood, so I had to get some large clamps. I didn't even though of fabricating them cause I though I was too damn difficult. now I'm watching you fabricating them with your fingernails on a tiny shop with tiny tools and I'm self kicking my self in the ass. I own a huge fabrication shop and I can't even fab my own shit. you really do remind me of myself as a young fabricator on a garage with no tools but a lot of self confidence and will to do. I really thank you for reminding me that "when you want, you can". please never give up man, and when you get really big in fabrication never forget that everything is possible even with no tools. THANK YOU.

Best F clamp video I have ever seen. Will try to make a set! Thank you for the inspiration!

Hey Cosman. Love your videos and work. Subscribed this morning and became a patron just now. Good luck!

What a great presentation for the F-clamps. Very well executed and great instructions you did a great job. Also your belt sander or belt grinder that you built is a beautiful piece of art and it’s a well built design. You should be very proud of your self for such a great creation. Please keep making videos.

Cosmas, another excellent video, thank you! Top class workmanship, nicely finished and very entertaining. I'm super-excited about your belt grinder, can't wait for the video. Would you consider doing a 2 minute teaser, like a quick "tool-tour"? I hope the changes in your life your life you mentioned are positive, and wish you all the best with your Patreon account. Thanks again for entertaining and inspiring videos!

Those are top quality clamps. I would be proud to own 25 of them. NEVER HAVE ENOUGH CLAMPS‼️👍👍 Vinny 🇺🇸

Very well made video, very good attention to detail. I work as a Senior VP of Engineering and quality, and a DiY enthusiast and I like to make stuff, and I over engineer everything I make and make it super tough and strong and heavy, and this video meets all my expectations. Like the dry humor, especially about the 639 people asking for the metal pin for the handle. Good work, keep it up.

The clamps are great! Nice touch putting them on the rack at the end...

Really good job! Thank you for sharing!

What you could do is if you wanted to change the design of your F clamps by making them spread items as well as clamp all you need do is unloosing the fixed side then slide it up a bit drill a hole in the long section that way it still clamps but you can take the short bits off turn them around put them back together bolt back in ready to spread cool idea oh yea.

Cooles Projekt, cooles Feuerwerk...und großartiger Humor. Dankeschön für die gute Unterhaltung 😃

I do not know how they can did not like this video A step-by-step beauty of this sergeant I liked very much of Brazil and an inscribed of its splendid channel. Congratulations.

Great video! Just an idea for the padding discs: you could have used a hole cutter and then fill the pilot hole with a quick welding. Keep up the great work!

Absolutely amazing job! Well done.

Brilliant build. I think I'll give these a go, but will use aluminium for the long bar. I also thought that if the bar was bolted on to the top jaw, I could swap out the bar for long or short bars as needed. Then I can have the shorter clamps for every day use, and then with a few minutes work with a couple of spanners, I could have a set of long clamps. Thanks for the inspiration.

I really like the new style of the videos!

Why would someone not like this video? I cant believe anyone gave this a thumbs down!

Great work. Hope you continue to put up great videos.

I really do love your videos man, you make me laugh even when i'm having a bad day!, keep on making these fun things man!

What an awesome job thanks for teaching us personally I appreciate it

thanks for sharing, great build, very cheap materials too !

What a brilliant project once i get to my workshop tomorrow i will try to make some. You can never have enough clamps in my opinion Good luck from Ireland

I think one of the best ideas out there making F clamps.. Great work bud.. Certainly gona steal your idea for this, Thank you

excelente trabajo, quedaron genial las prensas, te felicito

Молодец! Классная конструкция, исполнение и подача материала!

Very nice Cosmas. I can't wait to see the sander build.

Good job! Sell some of these tools! Thank you so much for sharing!

Hello Cosmas. I just discovered your channel. Very fine craftmanship. The belt sander looks superb too. Congrats! and thanks for sharing.

Nicely done! Those are six tough clamps!

Hola Cosmas, muy buen vídeo y como siempre todo lo que haces es de calidad.ya tengo ganas de ver cómo has hecho esa súper lijadora de banda.

Awesome video! Loved the scale at the end.

Enviable work station and tools. Paradise.

Excellent video. Good workmanship. Cheers from Michael. Australia.

Beautiful clamps. Thanks for the excellent video.

Your original heavy design is awesome for making short but very long reach/deep clamps. I made two a couple months ago for less than half the cost of just one Bessey 12" deep clamp.

Those clamps are awesome, I'm sure there'll last a lifetime. nice video.

Dude your work and explanation very good

Nice work dude. Keep it up with the good work. Great creativity

This video puts me on the way to make my own clamps. Thanks

Beautiful job my comrade great mind at work!!

Nice build. Great sense of humor. Thanks.

Cosmas, I enjoy watching your videos. You have a very creative mind and are extremely talented. tj

Nice hand made tools, thank you for this share.

Das war wirklich gut, danke, halte die gute Arbeit!

you did a really great job on those man

Nice work. They look really good.

Very well made just might have a crack at making some myself Thank You

Really awesome build. Not that easy, not that difficult if you know what to do. Really like you start expressing your humorous side. :)

Tidy, clean work, and excellent quality video.

Excellent idea to teach how to make the F-Clamps Obrigado.

"Type metal-cutting saw blade into an online search engine..." Haha ;-) By the way, I came to your channel via Marius Hornberger, whose work I also really enjoy. Keep going, Cosmas! I am now contributing to you and Marius via Patreon. I get at least one American dollar's worth of enjoyment and education from your channel each month.

thank you for your effort. ıt was a great video. I'm watching all your videos starting today

You are a genius !!! right idea at right place !!!

nice professional looking clamps Buddy like you usually do with everything else in your videos

Felicitaciones, good job!

not bad idea, soon i will built this kind of clamp equipment when i start building me a furnitures, thanks for your beautiful video,..

I like this video a lot. Very educational I wanna make my own clamps. I’m also going to look at that sand belt video I could use a sand belt.

Good job! I suggest you to put a piece of dense rubber on the top of the clamp. This avoids marks on clamped parts. Thanks for the video.

🇹🇭 ผมได้ชมคุณ จากประไทยและบนมือถือ ผลิตภัณฑ์ของคุณ มะก่อนได้ซื้อมาใช้ แต่ไม่คงทน และราคาแพง แต่ของคุณ คงทนแน่นอน และผมขออนุญาต จะมาทำใช้นะครับ ได้ดูการทำแล้วปลื้มใจ เป็นอย่างมาก คงทนถาวร แน่นอน คนยอรมันทำอะไรๆ ก็ไม่เป็นพราสติกเลยนะครับ ความคิดทีแน่นอนทีสุดในโลกครับ ❤❤❤ ขอขอบคุณ เป็นอย่างมากมาย🌹🌹🌹 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

Great Tool My Friend, good finish and explanations too,

Excelente ideia, gostei preciso mesmo de fabricar alguns para mim. Parabéns pelo seu trabalho.

Good job!!!! Nice piece of work. I will also make them according your guidelines.

IM-PEC-CABLE... Vous êtes plus qu'un professionnel... Félicitation Cosmas Bauer.

Мне нравится твой подход к работе. Настоящий инженер😜

Great job Man, thanks!

Muy bueno tu trabajo es simple y una gran solucion, pues los que venden en ferreterias son carisimos felicitaciones!

Splendid video! You are truly an excellent craftsman. New subscriber keep them coming.

Excellent work, they will last a few lifetimes; how things should be built.

hey kid, many older could learn from you. Absolutely marvelous job with clams.

amigo es usted un genio con tan maravillosa aportacion para los que practicamos la carpinteria felicitaciones

time 13:15... I feel your pain... You know its going to happen and you are forced to say something about it... then it still happens... I think we were suppose to be brothers. I am not sure how you ended up on the other side of the world. See you on your patreon page. :)

Wow excelente video, muy bien hecho y bastante útil!!!!

Thank you for putting that cross pin in; now I can sleep better at night.

Красава! Приятно смотреть. В мастерской порядок. Классные получились струбцыны! Успехов тебе и интересных проэктов!

Making your own clamps is soo nice, monetary good too. Mainly because under the right kind of shining light, you can get the stock materials for next to nothing. Example: from a friend i inherited 7 spring compressing kits, that's 14 Acme threads. Sure, they were a bit worn out, but for a F clamp, that's perfectly okay, which is corroborated by the fact that i've been using the home made clamps for so long now that i'm at the point where i have to replace the spine on a few of them because i whaled on them sooo much they're starting to curve, yet the threads are just as i have received them.

Great work, thank you for sharing

Excellent video as usual.

Cool and very practical!

Awesome, very good explained, I will do my one thanks

Hola!! Muy bueno tu trabajo las prensas bien robustas. Y veo que te gusta hacer tus herramientas. Tienes un lindo taller. Felicidades!! Saludos de Uruguay
