Look under tools in "Search the Forums" as this subject has been raised before many times. Clamps are the thing I use the most, always looking for good, cheap clamps. When I built R/C airplanes, someone came up with using spring type clothes pins, both as made and modified. As made they have good clamping power but a short reach. Modified, they have slightly less clamping power, more parallel clamping faces and deeper reach. To modify, simply remove the wood clamping legs, reverse the clamping legs so the outside surfaces now becomes the inside surfaces and stick the legs into the clamping spring backwords, so what was the clamping handles become the clamping jaws. This sounds way more difficult than it is. Once you have 10-15 of these clamps around, you will wonder how you ever did without them! They are cheap and extremly useful.
