4 Way Panel Clamps

So, I had a set of homemade 4 way panel clamps and they have served me well. But they were in need of an up grade. In some of the photos below on the right, you can see my DIY hardware for my homemade clamps.

The original clamps I made, I used 1-1/2 inch 24 inch long fir, with 1/2 inch holes spaced about 1-1/2 inches apart. But for some up coming project that was not going to work. I saw a deal on Amazon from Peachtree Woodworking Supply. For $50 USD I could get 2 sets of clamp hardware. So I had a little extra money and ordered them. As I was waiting for them to arrive. I got some unistrut from Home Depot. One of my upcoming project is a new desk for my office, along with a new table. So my clamps needed to be able to clamp panels over 30 inches. So I got 3 - 10 ft. 1-1/2 inch unistrut and cut them in to 40 inch long sections.

Below you can see the assembly of the clamps. After adding wood pads for my homemade hardware. I found that need to make some modifications. But, knowing that I can get another set of the clamp hardware for only $50. I may just do that instead.
