Good day

Take a clamp, remove the fixed jaw, weld an angle iron, make two holes and screw it on whatever you want.

Regards
niki

Another useful tip Niki. I wish I had a basic welder (and the skill to use it).
 
good excuse for buying the cheap clamps at your local lidl/aldi.
and getting your mate the mechanic/ body shop guy to
weld them up for you for the price of a drink. :lol:

this guy niki is good, and his ideas just go to show that if it is
not available, you can make it.

unfortunately we often don't bother to think about making any more,
too much available from stock here. :oops: :cry:

Where in Poland are you as I am hopeing to go there next year it visit some of my in laws ( wifes family are polish ) :)
 
Thank you all for the kind replies

Engineer one
Thanks for the compliment.
As an amateur, the availability is not the main problem (although in Poland it still is), I want to buy all the tools that I need or want, but what do you answer to my wife which is telling me "If you will buy everything, maybe, it's cheaper to buy the furniture, (and she is correct in a way).
I have all the time in the world to make jigs and fixtures (no delivery date), and I love it. Of course, if I was professional the story would look different.

I hope that your teeth are ok, no teeth no polish, you know...
Somebody told me, that the one that invented the Polish hated people, otherwise, nobody can understand why you have to connect 4 consonants in a roll without one vowel in between and all of them are pronounced with the teeth. Any way DOZOBACHENIYA.

My Polish is still very bad and I'm here already 2 years, that's not a language, that's a catastrophe, not to mention the grammar.
