<p>I get it. The threaded section looked solid but actually has an oblong hole (where the bar used to be). This was well illustrated in the link Roger provided.</p>

<p>Roger, Your English is much better than Google Translate. Thanks for the posting.</p>

<p>They are the threaded part of a F clamp. <a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2167762004?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2167762004?profile=original" width="250" class="align-full"/></a></p>

<p>I guess you talk about the jig for the bottom gluing and the side clamps. I bought really cheap clamps and cut away the "stop" in the end of the bar just keeping the movable part with the clamp screw. I made some hard wood pieces of wood and fastened the remains of the clamp with one screw through the opening made for the clamp bar. The opening in the molded metal is quite wide and the "clamp" can be adjusted a couple of cm's up or down. In the front of the wood there is a metal angle…</p>
<p>I guess you talk about the jig for the bottom gluing and the side clamps. I bought really cheap clamps and cut away the "stop" in the end of the bar just keeping the movable part with the clamp screw. I made some hard wood pieces of wood and fastened the remains of the clamp with one screw through the opening made for the clamp bar. The opening in the molded metal is quite wide and the "clamp" can be adjusted a couple of cm's up or down. In the front of the wood there is a metal angle screwed into the side of the wood. I then use short sheet metal screws to secure each clamp in the spot needed for the guitar body. The plywood sheet is in soft spruce to make it easy to mount the screws, I have a wood distance under the sheet not to screw into the bench.<br/><br/>The guitar body rests on some scrap wood to give it the right height for the side clamps. Inside the guitar I have a cross made of adjustable round rods to shape the guitar sides to the bottom. The rods are "foldable" in pieces and can be removed through the soundhole.<br/><br/>I have some more pictures and a text in Swedish <a rel="nofollow" href="http://gammelgura.se/wordpress/?page_id=2196" target="_blank">here</a>.</p> Roger,

<p>Roger,</p>
<p></p>
<p>What is the source of those clamps? Frank (Ford) has a fixture like this but bench made the clamps (which leaves me in the dust). But if I can <em>buy</em> the clamps...</p>
<p></p>
<p>That flexible caul is really cool.</p>
