Well, the title statement is a bit antiquated, just plain not true, and something that I’ll never have to worry about. But, now that I have your attention, here’s a similar type statement that is true: “You can never have enough clamps”. There’s a couple things that will ensure a successful boatbuilding career. One is needing very little money, and another is having about a bazillion clamps. Both of these things tend to trip up all but the most hard-headed would-be boatbuilders. This picture shows about half of my clamp collection, and anyone that’s been to lunch with me when I just happen to ‘forget’ my wallet, knows about the “little money” thing.
