DescriptionEach clamp is constructed with three wooden pieces laid perpendicular to each other with a pin at each of the two corners so it may move, and a pin going through the two side pieces. This pin is threaded so it may be turned and tighten the clamp as it does so. The two side pieces are tapered at the ends which do not attach to the third piece. The threaded tightening pin has a circular, flat piece at one end to act as a handle for turning it. See drawing on paper record.
