Clamps, lots of Bessy quick adjust and Kant twist (sp) clamps. If every storage space in your shop is filled with clamps then you might be getting close to having enough.
Here is what I am talking about for anyone interested.

Ed's screwed if he ordered 8 to 10 Bessy clamps at $28 a pop at one time. Ed should sneak a couple purchases at a time home all
is well then.
I've twisted a few Bessy clamps in my time, shop tools not mine with them pushing beyond their capacity.
I know about never being able to have too many clamps... I have several Bessy wood working clamps and agree they are nice. I actually used some pipe clamps to square up the table frame after I tacked it, before finishing the welds.
Like BrewBeemer said, I'll "sneak" a few things in at a time
In the meantime, I bought 4 of these: http://www.harborfreight.com/11-inch-swivel-pad-lock-grip-pliers-set-37006.html
When I buy anything from Harbor Freight, I assume it is disposable and if it holds up it's a bonus. These clamps seem to be decent and at $2 each defiantly not much of an investment. I may pick up some more and I saw they have some "F Style" clamps I might try too.
