I decided I need more tubing clamps to build my baja's chassis. They are about $40 ea so I decided to build some instead. I have a couple of ones I built previously and they have been really nice to have. I decided I build a jig so I could make multiple clamps the same. I'm waiting on some material for the pivots. Anyway here's some pics.

I pretty much finished the jig tonight. Here's a couple of more pics of it.

Here's one of how I keep the two pieces lined up while welding the hinge on.

I made a couple of those to hold tabs on, ended up being more time than just eyeball tacking them..

Yeah the tab ones looked like quite a hassle. I was thinking about building one just to try it.
