I want to build the following jig to put mortises in a set of table legs, but the legs are 2.75" square, and the 3" clamps used won't work, at least according to one of the comments below the video.

just mill two wooden standoffs (extenders) to push the clamps back to open the area....

Let us not seek the Republican Answer , or the Democratic answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future John F. Kennedy

Yep, I have some of those clamps and for this application, they're really ideal.
Shim them out.
