We don't like to brag (well, OK we do but it's so much better when a professional does it) but Shawn's work is known around the world and he knows what works best for him. we'll just let him tell it:
As a professional woodcarver, I constantly search for products to help me accomplish my goals more easily. Clamping and securing my work effectively has always been a source of frustration; since I often create unusual shapes and work with natural pieces, I have never been satisfied with what the market has to offer. Then along came Grip-All Jaws! This product is truly what I would call I uniquely "creative" solution to the universal clamping problem. No matter what the task is, Grip-All Jaws systems deliver with rock solid stability while maintaining a gentle, non-crushing hold on the subject at hand.
Although the Tilt-top system's main feature is portability, I enjoy it because I can adjust the working height without having to bend over so much - no more lower back pain!
The Orbital system is like having a third hand; it's perfect for working on smaller pieces that you would normally hand-hold while whittling. It provides a much safer carving environment, and is great for painting and finishing as well.
I have found these products to be a truly invaluable addition to my workshop, and I look forward to more groundbreaking products to emerge from the clamping genius that is RP Myers' Grip-All Jaws systems.
