A 12 in (300 mm) metalworking F-bar clamp with an all-steel construction and forged-steel jaws. Designed for general clamping and welding applications, it provides a deep throat for reaching into workpieces and a locking screw treated to resist welding spatter.
Project Ideas
Business
Small-Batch Industrial Home Goods
Launch a microbrand of welded planters, shelf brackets, and minimalist furniture. Use the clamp to speed jigged welding and maintain consistency across batches. Sell via Etsy, local boutiques, and craft fairs.
Mobile Welding and Repair Service
Offer on-site fixes for gates, trailers, racks, and farm equipment. The clamp acts as a portable third hand with deep reach for awkward joints, reducing setup time and enabling clean tacks in the field.
Fixture and Jig Fabrication
Design and sell custom welding jigs and clamping fixtures for makers and small shops. Demonstrate setups that leverage deep-throat clamping for repeatable angles, miters, and parallel assemblies.
Hands-On Welding Workshops
Host weekend classes where students build a planter or bracket set. Incorporate the clamp in each station to teach safe, efficient workholding and charge for tuition, materials, and optional tool bundles.
Content and Affiliate Channel
Create short videos on clamping hacks, deep-reach welds, and bending tricks using F-bar clamps. Monetize through platform revenue, sponsorships, and affiliate links to clamps, consumables, and safety gear.
Creative
Adjustable Sheet-Metal Bending Brake
Pair the F-bar clamp with two lengths of angle iron to create a compact bending brake for 20–18 ga sheet. The 5.5 in throat lets you clamp well beyond the edge, and the 992 lb force holds crisp bend lines while you lift the free angle to form HVAC brackets, drip edges, and small enclosures.
Industrial Bookends and Shelf Brackets
Fabricate steel L-brackets and bookends from flat bar and angle. Use the deep throat and swivel pads to clamp 90-degree joints without marring while you tack-weld. Grind, blacken, and wax for a matte, industrial finish.
Welded Planter Box Set
Build a set of nested square or rectangular planters from sheet or flat bar. The clamp’s forged jaws and copper-plated screw resist spatter as you align corners and hold miters steady for clean, repeatable tacks.
Live-Edge Steel-Framed Wall Shelf
Combine a live-edge plank with a welded steel C-channel frame. Use the clamp to pull the wood tight to the steel while drilling and epoxying threaded inserts, ensuring a flush, rattle-free fit.
Leather or Wood Embossing Press
Turn the clamp into a compact press: sandwich a custom stamp and leather or thin wood veneer between steel plates and apply pressure with the T-bar handle. The sustained clamping force yields clean impressions without a dedicated press.
