Bike Tire Tubes for Clamping Stuff

Clamping Hack for Woodworking Projects

Save those old bicycle tubes! They can be used as clamps for regluing chair legs or other irregular objects. Cut the tube on each side of the valve stem. Knot one end around a chair leg, tightly wrap the tube around the legs, and secure it with a hand clamp. The rubber can be stretched around any unusually shaped object to hold it tight until the glue dries.
