Last year HD(or was that earlier this year??) closed out it's line of the
small Bessematic cabinet clamps. I bought all I could carry as they were
less than half price. Anyway, I made a few clamps that work through the dog
holes of my bench. I ground off the bar stop at the screw end so the end
comes off. The bar is then passed through the bench from underneath and the
screw end is back slid on. Viola! you have a clamping system very similiar
to those "bw" clamps you mentioned.

What's "unistrut"? A style of clamp or a manufacturer? I DAGS and found
numerous references to unistrut but no pictures.... Thanks!

Thankyou. I was looking for "clamps" so I was fooled a little bit.
These are more like "erector" set parts.

Yes. These have been around a while. I first learned of them in a
comparison test between the Cabinet Masters, Bessie K Body and these. IIRC
the preferred was in that order also.
