Clamping Delicate parts With Pony/Jorgensen Hand Clamps

Nativity Platform Christmas Ornament Glued and Clamped With Jorgensen Hand Clamps   Etsy Shop https://odinstoyfactory.etsy.com    These little Jorgensen hand clamps are perfect for holding this ornament in place while the glue sets. Spring or close pin clamps would likely slip off the curved lower surface and apply too much pressure. The pressure alone can break delicate parts. Metal spring clamps have sharp edges that can damage or scar the wood. Plastic spring clamps have hard plastic jaws that can slip even on flat parallel surfaces. The last thing you want when clamping delicate pieces is to have the clamp slip and snap off, sending the clamp and the parts flying.
