Welcome to the latest news about Wooden Clamps!
The site is dedicated to those who collect, use, sell, study,
or just like all wooden clamps, and related hand tools. The focus is on factory
made items, rather than individually made. However, some information on individuals
is available.
Here is what is new or changed:
- New names, patents, etc
-
- (20170314) Corrected pages for dealer, C. H. Utley,
of New York. Aldrich supplied the wooden clamps. More research underway; big
step forward was to find that Otley was a mis-reading of a label.
- Found new brand, Velox Clamp, but not the maker. It's a quick-release clamp,
with parallel metal spindles.
- (20170417) found several catalogs for dealer Marples,
updated content on marks and models
- (20170419) revised info on Old Economy
Village as makers, later as owners
- (20170425) renamed various files to conform with current guides
-
-
Current Research Questions
- Trace history of the dealer Charles H Utley
- do statistical analysis of handles, to help identify married clamps, and singleton
spindles
