- Panel Clamps for Woodworking Panels and Furniture Tops 38" Clampzilla 3.0 by Woodpeckers. Sometimes mistakenly called bar clamps, these 4 way panel clamps are the ticket to flat panels for your woodworking projects. 4-Way clamps pull the joints tight while aligning the edges at the same time. You'll get horizontal and vertical clamping pressure, all in one innovative clamp.
Start with one or two panel clamps, or get the full 4 clamp kit. I recommend the 38" version for general woodworking, but they're available in 18" and 50" lengths as well. www.woodpeck.com/clampzilla-3...

Good technique bud, orienting one face against the jointer face and the next one out cancels out any slight angular degree of the fence, hence one face "In", the other "out" 👍
You are very wise. And correct!
i and o is for edge jointing. facing inside the fence and outside the fence. This is to equalize or cancel any bevel if ever the jointer fence is not perfectly square
You are correct!
save yourself a little bit of pain on the glue clean up by removing the glue about an hour after application. It'll be tacky like play dough and will come right off without leaving any significant glue reside on the face of the wood
Really like this video as I have these clamps and didn't think about the kickstand idea at all, and removed the pins to load them. That way is not fun at all.
Yep, I agree with waiting a while to scrape glue. That's the way I normally do it. Glue seems to pop off these clamps pretty easily too. Thanks.
indoor, outdoor, IO
I love the concept of these, looked up the price and damned near had a stroke. 😬 There's no reason for basically $1k for a 4 pack of 50 in clamps. Woodpeckers is quality yes, but it shouldn't be for the elite and super rich.
Something people are not noticing about 4-way clamps. The boards do not need to be the exact same thickness. The underside is all pushed flush. Make that the good side. Slight thickness variations allows access for shims or thin wedges unter the top bar across the panel and put downward pressure for any fine alignment adjustments in the field of the panel. Flatten the 'bad' side with a belt sander to the 'best' as needed.
Hmm, I've always wanted to start panel glueups with the same thickness boards. Seems easier that way to me, but everyone has their own process. Best to you.
@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker the point being that the underside of the glue-up is flat and flush by default and the good side if you place the desired side down. you can shim a few millimeters of individual board small arcs out. You don't need a planner investment. Feel free to not do it. Why are you telling me what you don't want to do? Just a mechanical observation that nobody seems to notice. Not about any process. May be something others can use. You do or do not do whatever you want. What you don't want input is of no value here.
I respect you doing things your way, but parallel clamps are designed to clamp material of the same thickness. I've seen some pretty horrible results when people get a mismatched board in there by mistake. From your last comment it sounds like I may have offended you, and that certainly wasn't my intent. Thanks for sharing your experience.
@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker it was an observation about 'flush'. not a technique. a result by default. the technique of same thickness is off the point, not relevant to the point.
Something you didn't mention is that in addition to centering the pad on the front of the board you also need to center the pad on the rear before clamping it down, which could be a little awkward.
Yes that's true. Luckily it's only an issue on thick panels. If you're gluing up panels 1" thick or less, it's pretty much easy to set. Thanks and best to you.
In/Out. Which side goes against the fence when jointing boards.
Correct! Very good Allen.
ins and outs .. when jointing.
That's certainly correct. Nice job Mark!
