An Old Woodworking Trick That Still Works! 🔥 This old woodworking trick uses nothing more than a string, a pencil, and a wooden dowel to create a surprisingly effective wooden cam clamp! As the string wraps around the dowel, the pencil traces a curved cam profile. Cut it with a jigsaw, secure the dowel with a wooden spline, and you've got a simple homemade workbench clamp that holds wood firmly in place for hand planing. No CNC, no complicated templates — just a clever, old-school woodworking technique that's still useful today.
