One truism of woodworking is that you never have enough clamps.  I have C 
clamps, bar clamps, spring clamps, quick clamps, home made clamps, and I 
still run out.  One very handy clamp for lighter pieces is a section of 
4"PVC with a cut along one side.  You have to come up with a way to open 
them but they do work well.
