Make Shift Clamps

Despite having a rather large collection of clamps, occasionally I am faced with a situation where none of them will do the job. As pictured above, I used some salvaged lumber to fashion an expansion clamp so that I could secure a piece of wall trim to the cabinet frame. I added two more after exiting the pantry so as not to trap myself inside. As of today, I am done with all the casework for the four bathrooms, laundry, kitchen, and pantry. I feel good about where things stand but have much more work ahead. Our plans include built-in cabinetry in the living room, both offices, the mudroom, the foyer, and two walk-in closets. Let’s not forget all the drawers and doors that are needed or the 29 stair treads. I think it is safe to say I will not be running out of work anytime soon.
