Abstract: An apparatus for securing a workpiece comprising first and second clamp members, and a transportable elongate member to which the clamp members are mounted and are operable for being shifted between work engaging and work releasing positions. In one form, the apparatus may be configured with clamp members capable of being fully removed from the elongate member and placed back thereon while maintaining the operability of the clamp members. At least one of the clamp members may be capable of being mounted on the elongate member in a plurality of directions, or may include jaw assemblies which are removable from and/or rotatable with respect to the elongate member. In addition, the apparatus may include a base for securing the base to a work surface and a catch for securing the elongate member to the base. In another form, the base may be configured to receive and secure the elongate member in a plurality of directions.

Abstract: A jamb cladding and brick mold assembly for enclosing the exterior surfaces of a jamb surrounding an opening in a building such as a door, garage door or window and providing a maintenance free protective cover for the jamb as well as a decorative molding between the jamb and an exterior surface of a building. The assembly includes a jamb cladding member for enclosing the exposed exterior surfaces of the jamb, where the cladding member has a first end connected to the jamb. A brick mold member is positioned overlying the interface between the jamb and the exterior surface of the building and a first connecting member for connecting the brick mold member to the first end of the cladding member is included so that the brick mold member overlies and conceals the first connecting member and the interface between the cladding member and the brick mold member from the exterior thereof.
