Luthiers Clamp And Padded Spring Clamp

[JamesR]

I have been using these two clamps to hold things together for gluing and stitching.

The luthiers clamp I borrowed from my woodshop is quite strong and has cork protective faces.

I took a Bessey 1" spring clamp which is also quite strong and hot glued furniture leg felt to the jaws.

I like to keep one of these hanging above my stitching horse to hold things out of the way.

Now I have only used them on bridle leather and latigo but they leave no dents or scars.

The deep throat on the luthiers clamp is handy for gluing billets that are not too close to an edge.
