A shorter course in woodworking; a practical manual for home and school . Fig. 194 Fig. 195 stout pieces of waste wood between the work and the clamps (), to distribute the pressure and prevent bruising. See alsoHand-screws, page 70, Where pieces are already finished or for any reason can not be planedor scraped near the joint after gluing, put paper between the joint andthe clamps. Wooden clamps answer every purpose. Steel ones are better, butmore expensive. Wood and iron are also combined. For heavy work,metal screws with winch handles are good. Useful clamps can be made of any strong strips of wood of suitablelength by nailing with clinch nails, or screwing, or bolting a block at eachend (Fig. 195). The work can be tightly wedged to a close bearing bydriving the slightly tapered double wedge (see Wedges, page 139); or byfastening one of the blocks at an angle, a single wedge of correspondingslant can be used. Common Tools and Their Uses 75 Fig. 196 shows a simple clamp, easily made of two strips with corre-sponding holes in Fig. 196 In some cases a stout cord doubled, can be put around the work, anda stick inserted between the two parts of the string. By turning the stickthe cord becomes twisted and the parts of the work drawn together (Fig. 197)-
