This one is so simple and logical that I am sure others have done it, but since I haven't seen it posted I am gonna take credit.
I bought a couple Kreg clamps that have a pad on one side and a peg leg on the other. They are made to hold panels down to face frames while you screw them together. Great tool! You want two.
Anyway I needed more regular Kreg vise grip type clamps for glueing up a face frame. I wanted to hold it down in several spots as I put it together. I started to substitute the peg leg jobs but was worried about putting a divot in the face frame.
Epiphany!! I made a couple 2" X 2" squares out of 3/4" hardwood scraps, drilled 1/2" holes in the middle about 1/4" deep, and presto! Slip the peg leg into the block and you have another large pad clamp.
No hate mail please. I said it was simple.... like me.
