Can I add wood to the clamps to give them a larger surface area?

It has removable jaws you can use as a template to make larger wooden jaws. I use mine all the time and have never had the need to do so... but yes... it would be possible. Watch the demonstration videos all over youtube.com....

Only with modification. I use this device almost daily and have not encountered any problems with securely clamping furniture panels up to 42 inches.

No, not really, unless the clamps were super padded, could you clamp this lamp to a headboard. You might come up with some other "MacGwyver" way to accomplish.

Thats about how much is actually clamped onto my desk too, just make sure you use tools to tighten the clamp, I should also note, I modified the arms on mine to go 3 wide, on a 6x6 monitor system

Probably not. The clamps are slightly angled inwards, but not by much. You might be able to bend them in some more by hand. But if it didn't work you might be stuck with them.

I know it looks like a giant clamp, but it isn't. It is basically a light stand with a light clamp at the center of the "jaws". The "jaws" are a light sheet steel, so it would be nothing to drill holes to hold some wooden sides. In fact, the screw center clamp only closes to 1", so if you wanted the stand to hold, say 1/4" ply, you would have to add a piece of 3/4" stock to fill the gap.

I believe we used a #10 or #12 three inch wood screw into 3/4 plywood.You could use 1/4" masonry screws with them. And need to factor about 1/2" to 3/4" extra length for the thickness of the holds.

The piece for the top of the clamp is wide enough and has some foam/rubber attached. I put a block of wood about 3" wide, 10-12" long, and about 3/4" deep on the underside. I glued a piece of foam from the craft store to the glass-facing side. It worked really well.What I meant to say was attach the rubber to the block to stop/reduce slippage and to avoid scratching the desk.

The clamp is plastic, and not all that thick. I'm not sure exactly what your set up is, but I'm thinking it will not work how you want it to with out some reinforcing.

The clamp I bought is at my summer home so I can't measure it. One could rig a spacer, possibly triangular, shaped, to take the clamp out away from your material. I work with odd materials like barn siding, cactus skeleton, Antlers etc. amt the device has been very useful.

Yes, Also the screw they supply is TINY and won't even tap into the wood. You'll have to go a hardware store and get a woodscrew that is about an inch and a half longer.

If you put the kit together as shown the legs will come right to the top of the plywood. I put my kits together a bit differently. I added another maple butcher block top over the plywood. The butcherblock tops hang over about three inches on each side allowing me room to use clamps. It make the bench higher, and for me, a better working height.

If you have a "lip" underneath your wooden table then the clamps won't touch the wood. The clamp apparatus extends over the "lip" but it doesn't actually touch the wood. The chair still is attached firmly when we use it. Hope this helps answer the question.

The bracket portion is 2" wide X 5.5" in height. And it is mounted with screws, not clamps. So any flat surface that is larger than the the bracket size will do.

You could...but there would be holes that show where the wooden dowls go to attach the top half. Its possible though.

You could always bolt longer bars to the current ones. Make your own bars out of wood or metal. In most cases still cheaper than the Thule version.

No - put heavy felt or something under the clamp. It needs the clamp to hold it in place.
