After finishing a picture frame I was putting away my band clamp. I devised a simple tool to make it easy, quick and neat. I took a 5/8″ dowel (1/2″ and 3/4″ would probably work as well) to my bandsaw and cut a slot about 1″ deep in the end, then cut it off to about 3″ in length. I put the end of the webbing through the slot and began winding. Finished in about a miniute, gave it a few extra turns to make it nice and sung, then added a rubber band to keep it all together. I pulled the dowel out, but it could be left in for storage until it is needed again.
