Homemade Edge-Gluing Clamps
H
ERE’S AN INEXPENSIVE BUTeffective homemade clamp for edge-
gluing stock. Unlike a pipe clamp, it won’t fall off the work-
piece while you’re fitting up and it pulls evenly on both sides of the
stock, ensuring flat panels. To use, pin the sliding tail block in an
appropriate place, then apply pressure by screwing down a C-clamp
across the wedges. Scraps of waxed paper will shield the clamp from
glue squeeze-out.
