Pipe-Clamp Spacers Ease Panel Glue-Ups
These simple pipe-clamp spacers, made from 3/4-in. plywood scraps, elevate a glued-up panel away from the pipes, leaving enough room to wipe glue squeeze-out from the pipes and preventing unsightly pipe stains on the workpiece. The spacers also allow the pipe clamps to sit upright on a table, making panel glue-ups a breeze.
Place the blocks between the clamp head and tail, making sure you use enough spacers to support all of the boards being glued.
