Title: clamps for a thick beam?
Post by: spcyrfc on February 04, 2010, 05:50:06 PM

im looking for solutions to clamp to big beams.  i've got the bogen C clamp, but find that it does not get wide enough for my needs on occasion. 

im sure some of you crafty folk out there have come up with solutions. i'd love to see them.

thanks,
luke
