Instead of watching finish dry, I let the yellow monster turn out a few more clamps to play with. There's method to my madness, however...a little 3D modeling on the knobs as part of the learning process since I recently upgraded to Aspire.Initially, I cut the knobs in plywood to see how things worked, but recut them in solid cherry scrap. They are much cleaner and a little thicker...a better idea for sure. Nice "hammer fit" for the nuts; no glue required. These lower profile clamps will be handy to have and if I happen to nick one badly because of a mental mistake, it takes a whole four minutes to cut four more, not including zeroing and fastening the material to the machine.
