What is a G clamp?
A G clamp is traditionally used in wood working for holding pieces of wood in place whilst being glued etc and come in many sizes.
In the world of modelling you can get a sized down version, which you can use for clamping more or less anything you like.
As the name suggests it resembles the letter G and has a gun like handle that when you squeeze, the ratchet mechanism pulls the clamp together to hold your work in place.
