A third alternative would be to get some clamps. On the weekend, I saw some good quality Bessey brand clamps on sale in one of our local stores.

Thanks for the tip on the deburring tool. My previous team had one, and we've been missing one on my new team. Tried a couple other places that didn't have that type. Didn't realize HD carried those.
