A 70's era Kamaka tenor with a slightly separated top undergoing the low tech clamping method I often use. An empty glass weights just a few ounces. A glass full of pennies weights a lot! Just measure pennies for desired 'clamping' force, apply glue, apply 'clamp', clean off squeeze out and that's it. I work in high tech all day long. It's nice to come home and employ some really low tech!
Excellent clamping system for mere pennies (or It's not rocket science, part 2)

Gravity is a very useful commodity, and it's free, and non-polluting.
Monica has one of those old fashioned weighing scales that uses real weights. They get used as clamps far more than they do for weighing.
Gravity - we fight against it all our lives. Newly born babies struggle to lift their heads off a pillow. You watch them fight against the force of gravity as they grow, until they can rush around, hardly noticing it - until they trip. As you grow older, gravity slowly starts to assert itself more and more, until at the very end..........
Ukantor (thankfully, I can still raise a glass.)
