clamps

[nelsone]

I know the cliche about not having enough clamps, but I really don't and I had abut 14 frame and panel doors to glue up. Here's a quick and easy jig I made to get the job done. I'm sure others have come up with the same idea, but I thought I'd share it.

It's just a wedge system, but I was able to clamp multiple doors at the same time.

That looks pretty slick!

That's a really good idea. Wedge clamping has been around for a long time, but I don't think that I have ever seen it executed like that. You should really consider sending that in to some of the woodworking publications...I see a top tip, easily :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

DaveO is right you should submit that as a Top Tip. Great idea.

i too have used wedge clamping many times, but the idea of the dowels and staking is brilant.

.......maybe that's why i have never though of it :eusa_doh:
