How to Clamp Round Wood

Working with round wood can be a difficult task since most clamps cannot fit around the wood without severely damaging it. Creating your own clamp will prevent damage to the wood while keeping it in place.

Instructions

1

Cut the valve off the bicycle inner tube.

2

Cut the bicycle inner tube in half, width-wise.

3

Cut the bicycle inner tube in half, lengthwise.

4

Wrap one strip of the inner tube around the round wood. Stretch the rubber while you wrap it around the wood so that it is snug and acts as a strap.

5

Clamp the rubber strap to the edge of the table with a spring clamp.
