I am looking for a Glue Clamp Hardware Kit Model #301107 and the only place that I see it is on the Ringmaster site which doesn't take orders. where do I find accessories for my ringmaster

Welcome Larry to The Patriot Woodworker. Glad you found us. Out of curiosity, have to tried to call Ringmaster directly? Seems I saw something some time back, they were still answering their phone but not managing/monitoring the website. Worth a try.

Number shown on the Website Here is Phone: 910-399-7508. @Headhunter, Tony might be able to offer some additional suggestions.

By glue clamp I presume you mean for gluing up rings. I use a simple jig. Consists of a platform with centered hole. Put a T nut in that hole. Start the glue up with the top ring upside down. The last ring is the bottom of the bowl you can then put a rod of all thread in the T nut . Place a washer on top and then a nut. If you prefer you can put a sacrificial piece of wood under the washer.

I couldn't find any sources for the clamp but I will add your inquiry to our "Wednesday's Wisdom For Woodturners" and hopefully we can get a lead on one.

From the images I saw, it looks like one could be cobbled together using stuff available at the Borgs.

For whatever it's worth, this is the clamp that I made many, many moons ago. Not pretty but it gets the job done.

The center shaft is a piece of 1/2"-13 all-thread that's bolted to the base. This one is just shy of 23" in usable length. The small ring is used to allow the large disks to sit low and steady above the nut. The disks are an option to allow for multiple bowls of different sizes to be glued at the same time. The clamp can be used as Gerald mentioned without the disks. The four spacers are very handy to keep from trying to crank the handle down that length of all-thread for just one bowl. They are 6" and 4" to mix and match as needed. They are a 2x4 ripped in half and center drilled. The knob is just a 1/2"-13 nut epoxied into a small block of wood.

All of the hardware can be acquired at your favorite Borg store as Lew mentioned. A little cutting, a little drilling and you're in business.

I normally glue all of the rings together on this clamp but do not glue on the bottom. I sand the inside of the bowl with an inflatable cylindrical sander run on a flex shaft. For the bottom I plug the hole, sand the bottom and then glue it on. The clamp for this is whatever heavy object I can grab to hold it down. Then the entire outside gets sanded with my ROS.

Hope this helps. Make sure you post pics of whatever you come up with and especially, what comes off of it!

@Larry G Take a look at Tony's design. Pretty slick. He does some mighty fine work too.

@Headhunter THANKS Tony for taking the pictures and providing the tutorial. Appreciated!

BTW, looks like you're experiencing a severe snow shortage. I've got 5 acres a foot deep MOL, so bring your truck and trailer. Toss in a couple dozen donuts and I'll provide the shovels.😆

Thanx for the offer, Dave. But I think I'll have to pass.

We had about 2" of rain last Friday night which flooded my backyard and then turned into a bit of snow Saturday morning. Nice dusting of about 1/2". Fast forward to Sunday morning and things went to freezing rain/sleet. That left a frozen layer about an inch deep and it stayed until mid-day Wednesday. Went out to retrieve the trash can from the curb Tuesday morning and took a tumble and buggered up both knees. Been hobbling around here since then.

I used to enjoy winter weather, snow and all. But those days are long gone. One snowflake or drop of freezing rain around here and everything goes to you know where in a handbasket. Best to stay home and hibernate.

BTW - It was about 75* when I took these pics.

If I add the highs for the last three days here, we're still short of 75°

Darn, Tony, thankful it wasn't any more serious. I'll take snow over the ice/ freezing rain any time. Take care of yourself.

I had forgotten about the spacers. William Young posted that addition many years ago. I do not use the spacers as I have a framing clamp with fast knobs. They have only partial thread and can just slide down til ready to tighten.
