You can never have too many clamps

Every Clamp in the shop

I glued up a panel today with some really cool-looking book-matched Red Gum glued on top of a plywood substrate. Some people use vacuum presses for this kind of thing, but for better or worse, that’s not a tool I own. I had to laugh after I used literally every clamp in the shop. Hopefully it works!

Note to self: buy more clamps. I really want to try out some of these Bessey ones, but have never been able to justify their cost.
