John,


You know, you can never have enough clamps in your shop. I have been wanting some for a long time, they can be a bit pricey though. And the derby car is very nice. My son and I did the same thing over 20 years ago, what a great memory!


 Hay woodworking maniak, nice job on the car and good luck to both of you!

You know Charles, if every woodworker was asked, what is needed in your shop mostly, all the time, every time? CLAMPS!!!!!!! That would be the number one answer on Family Feud.


Charles, do you not have any Bessy's to submit?
