A buck a clamp must be for the alligator type, The final stages of the wales will approach 5 1/2" wide, so i need C or Bar clamps, I see HF has 12" bar clamps for 3.99 and 6" for 2.99...seems like the best deal i can find....a few dozen of those, plus what i have should do it.
You can't EVER have too many clamps...

Don't just throw a dozen of those into your cart and check out, work each clamp through it's entire range to make sure it's a good clamp. Last time I bought those clamps, I rejected half of them as the screw wasn't smooth or the bar had a defect causing it to bind....
Where are you finding 1/4” oak? Or are you reshaping yourself? Cheers
