   Somewhere in the article Fortune says "The plastic and other hardware is available at http://www.rockler.com."

   I have found a lot of things at Reid supply.

   http://www.reidsupply.com/index.aspx

    

   On page 150-153 several clamps are shown.

   I've only seen ones that look exactly like the ones in the article in photos--I don't know where to get them. Woodpeckers has one that's similar: http://www.woodpeck.com/holddownclamp.html. You can get them directly from Woodpeckers, and Woodcraft also has them (although I think they may be house-branded).

   I checked out Rockler myself and I'm darned if I could find them.  If all else fails you can make your own out of baltic birch ply.  I've done it on a larger scale for drill-press table hold-downs.  3 layers of banana-shaped ply glued together, with the middle of the centre section removed to allow the threaded rod to swivel freely.

   Pricecutter.com has a good selection of hold downs.

   Charles mentioned p 153 of the Reid catalog. Here is one that looks like the ones in the article.
