Between you and me Gøran, I've done that more than once glueing up tops and backs for my little ukes and other instruments but I always thought folks would point and laugh at me like that tough kid in The Simpsons. It never occurred to me it might be 'proper' woodworking. Oh well, I guess I can hold my head up in public again. Incidentally, do you think you might do a short vid about different types of table saw blades one day? You spoke so casually about 'negative rake' that I reckon you'd be the very man to sort this business out. Cheers mate, love to you both and I hope the Summer is very delightful there.
Hi Mark! And thanks for checking in again. Like i mentioned, I got this from Guy Dunlap. So the info should be good. However, the key words in this are "thin" panels. And the comments are already running in on diverse Facebook groups about how horribly weak this will be since there is so little pressure. Feed the algo I say :D Table saw blades are a huge topic, but I will for sure consider your suggestion. Cheers and give our love to the lady from the hardware store.
Good tips. I've used tape to hold joints together many times, but never thought to run a strip down the whole length also. I will be incorporating that into my next glue-up. Thanks for the video.
Interesting video - thank you. Although the video was about not using clamps, could you tell me what make were the clamps you used to hold the cauls together? Thanks, Phil 😀
Hi Phil! Looking at the video, I used 2 types of clamps on the cauls. One type were G-clamps that I 3D printed. They are available on thingyverse for download. I also used some small F-clamps that I got off a car boot sale. So I have no idea of the make. Then the large sash clamps are OEM clamps from Biltema, a Scandinavian hardware store chain. Cheers.

What clamps are you using to keep the boards flush? The big gray c-clamp looking ones?
They are 3D-printed from a file I found on thingyverse, and increased the size of.
