Okay, the old threaded rod type clamp has always been my least favorite. Early on I replaced the threaded rods with light duty chain. This allowed me to quickly adjust the clamp length by simply unhooking and re-hooking the chain in whatever length was needed.

Another quick method is to modify a sliding bar clamp to accept your cork mandrel. Adjusting for length is just a matter of sliding the end clamp block to where ever you want it and then with a few squeezes on the main clamp, you're set.

I suspect that photos of both these types are on the photo page.
