Improvised handle clamp

[Brock Cutlery]

This is something I learned partly from a friend here on BF. I added the side clamp, which is some weird vice thingy I found at a garage sale. Anyway, I used to use my vise and rubber bands, but this is far superior. Just don't clamp the snot out of it as Walter Sorrells would say.
Keeps things straight and tight.

Good idea. I also have one of these woodworking vices on my bench that I actually tend to forget about. Thanks for the reminder!
