Been thinking that maybe 4' might be a bit much.  The clamping stick would need to be in quite a bit of tension which would necessitate a certain thickness which might make the force necessary to open up the clamp too much from an efficiency standpoint.

But what the hey, won't know til you try.

Well my thought is that I have all of this wood. Enough to do at least 4 more like I already made (Pics here later)

and I have 3? 2x6x8 pieces of cedar...

Cut them in half, add hinges, attach to a piece of plywood to stand on and I would have a 4 foot tall standing clam.

Since its almost as easy to make more than one at the same time I was going to see if there was anyone else in North GA that needed one or the other and invite them for a building party.

I could easily just make it with a bolt or cam lever across, but your thought on having the clearance inside made me think of this...

 

My plan was to have it to one side (in the middle) of a 2x4 piece of plywood so I could stand on it... and your board off to the right...

Just that my creativity wants something done with that cedar since I found it in my basement (I live here 8 years) Besides all of the other wood.

And here is what I made.

Keep in mind my Brain thinks straight... But my hand does not. you will see that the bottom needed "adjustment" but the top matches pretty good.

Yes I will cover it with leather later tonight. I was just excited to share.

I will sand the top even before I add the leather.
