    Hello everyone,

    I remember I read an article (or watched a video) from Paul where he shows an alternative to clamp workpieces to a table top in case you don’t have a dedicated woodworking bench with a vise. It was kind of an upright board with several recesses in it where you can put clamps in it.

    I tried google but I probably miss the right keyword as I am no native English speaker. If you know what I mean or if you have a tip about some keywords to search for I would be glad if you share it with me.

    Kind regards
    David

    Hi David,
    Do you mean : an alternative to bench dogs ? If yes, here is the link to the YouTube video:

    kind Regards,

    Hello Jaques,

    thanks for the hint but this is not what I was looking for. Its an alternative to a vise itself.

    This might be what you are looking for: https://paulsellers.com/2015/11/great-holdfasting-system/
    This relies on having a vise, though.
