Clamps needed to borrow/rent

I’m doing my first glue-up of a large panel, i.e. 42” wide tabletop, and need to borrow or rent at least 6 pipe clamps, bar clamps, or parallel clamps for a couple of weeks. Yes, I know the glue up won’t take but a day, but I’m not sure when I’ll get to this. If I planned on doing other large glue-ups, I’d buy my own. But being the first time, I don’t know if there will be a second time and I don’t want to spend big $ for something I might never use again.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Eric Long

I have a couple dozen Bessey parallel clamps in that size range. You can borrow a dozen but I am in Raleigh

Phil,
Thank you so much for your generous offer. I became inspired by other options, namely making my own clamps. I made some clamps and did my glue-up this past weekend. Not bad for a first try. I’ll let you know how the tabletop turns out.

Thanks again for your willingness to help a novice.
Eric

Nice job on your clamping strategy -- results should be fine based on what we can see. Your tabletop material looks very well prepared as well.

Thanks. Now I need to find a place (GPS Hardwoods perhaps) with a large enough drum sander that can smooth out this 42” tabletop. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.
