      If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

          No, but I have sprained my brain trying to figure out where to put them. Clamp rack is full. Guess it's time to expand.

              Considering how little you paid, I'll bet there are quite a few members who could suggest a place.

              That's a nice score ... appears to be two of the 2440 cabinet door sets. As I recall the lowest price anyone ever found for those was around $80/set (Schroncey would know), with $100/set being more typical. Ya did good!

                  My clamp rack has plenty of room, I'd be glad to store them for you

                      It might be a shorter drive for you to drop them off at my place. Nobody else needs to reply. Nice gloat.

                              Yep. I think I've seen that set on Amazon for about $90 when it goes on sale, and even that price is a steal, so you can imagine how happy I was to get two sets for a hundred, and without having to wait for the next sale. Bessey makes a helluva clamp. There have been some good buys on Craigslist lately, and I'm definitely taking a peek there every day.

                                      That was a great deal. You sure got lucky.
