Brace Clamp                              

Clamping the face braces requires some special deep throat clamps or a new tool I developed I call the Brace Clamp. The Brace Clamp is made with common hardware and two wooden bars, one of which must be a dense hard wood, like maple or beech.

Deep Throat Clamps

A typical application of clamps, the braces have been fitted into the body and their locations marked on the face. A clamp pad or caul is placed between the clamps and the other side of the face to protect the top surface.
