John, I've watched most of your videos over the years. Very impressive and I love your no nonsense approach. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make these plans and provide us with them. Very ingenious. Thanks so much for the effort and time you spent.

Like how you began the video by showing viewers the most typical use of long bar clamps for us woodworkers! They don’t need to be extremely strong for a glue up of panels nor for 95% of any other woodworking application they may be used for.
These clamps seem to be your best design and are much easier to build. You are always trying to help your audience understand so that we can “build it” easily ourselves. Thanks, it’s appreciated!

These clamps are wonderful John. Your instruction is clear and precise and all the additional jigs and tit bits of knowledge are so helpful for the novice like me. Greatly appreciated

[michaelwhinnery]

They look so simple in the photograph, but then when you break it down step by step . all of the work you put in the building these things, not to mention the video production very well done. thank you John.

Hello John, it’s hard to explain how much people like you help others sharing your knowledge and experience, they are such a nice clamps looks amazing and sure works as intended.
Thanks man for sharing!

Hey John i think these are the nicest diy bar clamps on YouTube one of my biggest reasons for the comment is they simply do not look homemade but look like something that may have been commercially available to Woodworking professionals in the past thanks for another great design and a good video on the build i enjoy the details you show and the advice/comments you offer in them

Matter of fact, practical, ingenious, and beautiful. Heisz makes a good safety point about his “comfort” with his table saw. Finally, one can never have too many clamps!

Thanks for making this project using the best material and methods available. I think a lot of us appreciate seeing some next-level stuff, whether to learn a concept or use it as a practical tutorial. Also, awesome notch-cutting jig.

Absolute wealth of techniques in this video for any project.

[PaskMakes]

They look top notch John, both in functionality and looks! :)

Mr john ilike your video and ilove woodworking

[MattKnowsThat]

Thank you John. Nicely done. I just bought the plans even though I'm advanced enough in my woodworking journey that I could make them by just watching this video. I bought them because I've been watching your videos for many years now and appreciate you keeping it real and honest. I have some YouTube content myself, and I know it's often a thankless job. So here's my $8 and a thumbs up for a Thank You.

Hi John, Super job and very well described. Thank you for the time and effort you put into making these videos. Indeed you can never have enough clamps and this tutorial will save big bucks over buying a factory bar clamp. Awesome indeed.

[mmazuma]

you're a woodworking savant. Nutty wonderful creativity! Kind of like a jazz musician riffing. Awesome.

[jakematic]

Absolute wealth of techniques in this video for _any_ project. Thanks John!

[josephadams]

Look really nice. Saving this to my favorites. Never too many clamps.

[michaelmills]

I love your sarcasm and the details you give. I have subscribed.

[Tboyhoot]

Great job!! Darn, I can't find anything to say negative, except lol thanks. So glad you went into details and kept it very simple. Thanks again.
