Knock-Down Rack Makes Panel Glue-Ups a Breeze
Apr 04, 2013
I glue up a lot of reclaimed wood into countertops and wide panels. To keep my pipe clamps lined up and evenly spaced and to keep them from rolling, I built a clamping rack that I clamp to a pair of sawhorses. The uprights that cradle the clamps provide plenty of room beneath the panel to insert clamping cauls. When I’m done, the racks store easily out of the way.
