Love those clamps!!! Your teacher did you a huge favor. I learned about these from master shipwright, author, and friend Ed Tosti when he gave me a couple many years ago. They are easy to make and really work well.

FWIW, very similar clamps are available commercially, not particularly expensive.I have used them for a while. Have to remember where I sourced them but the bolts fit between most frames, mandatory for outside planks IMHO.

Those clamps are perfect ! That was a superb gift !
As always, your work is perfect too, just like the clamps.

ZHL model, China.
Shipping was fairly quick.
I also have their “scrapers” which have multiple shapes to make moldings.
They work pretty good, harder the wood, better they work, i.e. boxwood
ideal.
