I got the lighter ali clamps from Rutlands sometime back, only any good for very light work, one broke after about 2 years and one on the way out now. Record steel clamps i"ve had since the end of my apprenticeship in 1970 still good and used all the time

project on the go

yes still turning but like some have said it gets to a point the family say no more, do give some bits to charity raffles and auctions. I do find it a good way to unwind
