This is a follow on thread to the one started by GunOfNavarone. Join this thread if you would like to join in on the construction of small sliding bar clamps. This is intended to be a project that goes fast, is pretty straigh forward, and acts as a pilot test for group projects in general.
I'm thinking of spreading the parts out among multiple people. Either one type of part per person or, if we get a lot of people, we could have multiple people on each part. I had an offer to case harden parts, so that's a possibility. If we don't harden I could do the "collect" step. So, the process would be:
Make drawings
Sign up folks
Set the number of copies we are making
Number of people X number of clamps wanted...
Farm out the parts to the folks
People make their part
Ship finished parts to case hardening or coloring volunteer
Ship parts to folks...
I don't want to stick the bulk harden/color volunteer with shipping costs, so we would need to come up with a clean way to spread that out. Collecting has the advantage in that there are only 2 ship steps per batch/recipient.
Parts:
Sliding tube (0.500")
Fixed jaw
Fixed jaw screw (could be bought)
Moving jaw
Knob
Stud (could be integral with knob)
Pad
The pad needs to be retained by staking the stud.
So, who's game?
