Re: Pipe Clamp Hold Down for the Job Site

I was watching how you did multiple doors. I use a variation of that method. I set up sawhorses about 4 inches further apart than the doors are long. Then I drill 3 holes, 1 in the center of bottom and 2 in the top about 6 inches from each edge of the door with a 3/8 inch bit. I put a 3/8 x 5 inch bolt in each hole. The single bolt acts as the pivot and the other two hold the door steady. Using the two bolts you can easily flip to the other side. The best part is there are no runs.

I refinished 96 doors total for a customer using this trick
