Clamping system

Clamp apparatus comprising:

• a base having a surface;
• a plurality of holes positioned in a pattern in the surface of the base;
• and
• a cam peg including a shaft sized to be rotatably receivable by a selected one of the plurality of holes and a cam portion coupled to the shaft for rotation therewith, the cam portion adapted to engage an item to be clamped on the base.

Clamp apparatus comprising:

• a base having a surface;
• a plurality of holes positioned in a pattern in the surface of the base wherein the pattern includes a reference line with which the pattern is oriented, and the plurality of holes are positioned in rows and columns with each column being at a first angle to the reference line and each row being at a second angle to the reference line such that periodic groupings of holes from rows or columns of the plurality of holes align along a line parallel to or perpendicular to the reference line with each grouping differing from adjacent groupings by a selected distance;
• and
• a plurality of cam pegs, each including a shaft sized to be rotatably receivable by a selected one of the plurality of holes and a cam portion coupled to the shaft for rotation therewith, the cam portion adapted to engage an item to be clamped on the base;
• wherein the item to be clamped is positioned on the surface of the base and the plurality of cam pegs are receivable within a like plurality of the holes adjacent the item to be clamped and each cam peg is rotatable to engage the item to be clamped with the cam portions.
