Here is a photo of one of my own Crab Clams:

The preview shows the photo as rather distorted, but the background should help work out the true aspect ratio of the photo… I hope.

Does anyone remember an article in one of the model magazines about making clamps to this design.

It's virtually identical to Stan Brays finger clamp design, although that is made to attach to a surface and press down.

This guy makes it look like a doddle to make your own. I guess it would be fairly straightforward to scale it up or down to the size you want.

AKA Can't twist clamps there are a few on Ebay from the U.S .

There isn't much in making making them yourself mostly basic metal work with a bit of turning and threading thrown in – a good beginners project maybe?

That's why I posted asking if anyone can remember what magazine an article has been in. Several members at our club want to make some and although I have 1 clamp to copy I remember an article in one of the magazines but cant remember if it was in ME / MEW / EIM or one of the US magazines Home Shop Machinist or Machinest Workshop.
