You can never have enough clamps it seems, here is a laminated gunnel setup for my Kipawa (cherry/walnut) ... you can never have enough. I was picking up a few at a time, then Canadian Tire ran a big 60% off sale ... I took what was on the shelf and asked to order 4 dozen more at the sale price ... they had to call a manager over, but I got them.



I still run out occasionally and have some F clamps that I can use in a pinch.

Clamps....
When you think you have enough is when you don't.
