This isn't my design but the guy who designed it sent me all the pictures and drawings I am sure you heard of him he is no longer making these do to his health. I have no idea what I did with the drawings I will have to look for them.The clamping system is all custom machined you can pretty much make one from threaded rod and some bolts and washers. So it pivots when you tighten it look in the hardware isle and look at furniture hardware I am sure you could find something you seem very mechanically inclined. Quote
Members AdamPCain Posted December 30, 2017 Members Report Posted December 30, 2017 It is a Moreau clamp no I do not own one but have talked to him a bunch I am a Tool maker by trade and he sent me all his plans. I was in the process of trying to help him find a way to still manufacture these were he could still sell them. He is the nicest guy ever it is hard to get a hold of him he has very limited access to the internet. Quote

Mjolnir Posted January 3, 2018 Author Report Posted January 3, 2018 Questions and answers about Ahab's Whale. Dimensions? Resin impregnating wood? the lock is proprietary? ie hand tooled? the bench clamp on this is available on amazon.com. Can I recreate a comparable clam? I'm back from vacation. I put the clam on the back burner to gain a little perspective. now I'm focused like a laser to make myself one like this so I can send the other two into the ether.
