Taylor 36" Bar Clamp

Just finished cleaning up this nice 36" Taylor bar-clamp. Its jaw depth is 4", total length of 41" and comes in at whopping 10 lbs. It sits very nicely on end as all bar-clamps should.

On another note is there a thread for Show-Us-Your-Clamps or SUYC? I looked and didn't find it.

I'm really starting to appreciate bar-clamps. At first I just lumped them in with pipe-clamps, but bar-clamps at least the vintage ones are certainly nicer.
