Modified clamps in use on the bench

They look handy.
Is it just the sideways forces that hold them in the holes?

They work a treat

I've been tempted to get hold of some semi decent clamps to modify. I used some cheapo ones and they had a little to much flex. Also have a few of the bessey Twv which are superb.

Yes, it did my head in when I first gave it a go but the clamping force is definitely present
