A technique for aligning edges within a wide panel glue-up
Mar 16, 2017
If using an f -clamp it helps to use a pair of channel locks to turn the handle. Grip the handles ferrule (metal ring) with the channel locks as to not shred the wood handle. This also helps to reduce the likelihood of spinning out the ferrule pin in the wood handle. Unlike my picture, it helps to align the lever board with the edge grain against the fulcrum. This reduces the bend in the board. Try to find a lever board with the straightest grain you can to reduce any chance of breaking.

A simple lever allows you to pin point a great deal of pressure, inside a wide panel, at its fulcrum.
-
Align the fulcrum with the glue joint, setting it back about 1/16" for observation.
