Contractor's Trick Works in a Pinch When You Don't Have Wood Clamps

Is there anything worse than working on a project, getting to the middle of it, and realizing that you don't have the tools you'll need to finish? Not only can this delay your progress, turning what was supposed to be a quick and easy DIY into something else entirely, but it can also change the budget you carefully laid out before ever getting started.

That's a probably that both pros and those do it yourselfers face day in and day out, which is why people are always coming up with clever hacks and workarounds for when you discover that you just don't have the tools you'll need to see your plan through.

Fortunately, we've just watched a whole new one on TikTok that will help anyone who ever finds themselves in need of a wood clamp. Take a look.

You know you're going to be getting some expert advice when someone with a handle like @tm.woodcrafts is doling out the info. And that's exactly what we got when we clicked "play" on his video, where he showed his followers how to make a DIY wood clamp when you don't have a legit one lying around at home.

The process is one of those "it's so easy how come I never thought of this myself" ideas, which makes it perfect for those hardcore woodworkers and beginners alike!
