Here is a photo of my yesterday project. The cold weather kept me in the shop for most of the day.
Presently it is -20F or -28 for all you centigrade folks. The Clamp parts are made from 3/8 x 3/4 inch
cold roll material and the threaded parts and the knurled parts are made from hot rolled material.
The threads are 5/16 x 18 threads using the single point method. The knurled pieces are silver soldered
to the threaded rods as it would have been a waste of 3/4 inch material and the end product would be
about the same. The clamps open almost 5 inches and will be handy in the shop. One immediate
use I can think of is to utilize them as a work stop in the vise.
