clamping thread?

I remember a few weeks ago, when I came onto thunders, there was a clamping thread on the first page that had a picture of the clamp, with instructions on how to do it. Does anyone know where that thread is now? Or can you tell me exactly what type of clamp to buy at the hardware store, and where to clamp onto my shaft and when? I have been concentrating solely on hanging for length the past few months, and have noticed some girth increase because of the hanger. So now I’m figuring, why not just start working on girth as well.

Why is this in the Hanger’s Forum? I’m moving it to Main..

You’re probably referring to one of these threads:
Clamping 101- The Clamping Guide
CLAMPING - Eevrything You Ever Wanted To Know

Yes I am, drilla. Thankyou.

Are these clamps outdated,pictured in the link on the first post of the thread(clamping 101)? I visited many hardware stores in my area(so-cal), showed them pictures of the clamp, and they had none. I even visited Staples to see if they carried any cable clamps, and they had none similar to use for this purpose. Before I go online and order from the site given, are these clamps even still available?

I can’t speak personally for the US of A, but your Home Depot and WalMart should stock them in their electrical departments. If not go with the website, that’s where I got mine - best investment I ever made..:)

I use a mouse pad for a wrap sorta like one of remek’s pics. Check out one of my posts on my thread. I also sand down the inside ratchet part, and I explain why. This is something you may not need to do until your base gets huge. drilla didn’t have to do this, in fact, I am the only one her who had a problem with the inside seam of the ratchet side. Hope this can help
