I watch a lot of videos and I've seen this matter discussed dozens of times, even a few visual representations. This was the best, and showed the proper way to correct it too.
This is an excellent video to explain how to do this. This is exactly what I do and I have had the hardest time explaining this to people who have worked for me through the years. Well done! Thank you and keep it up.
Wow! I have certainly been guilty of "Cranking, and Cranking" the clamps until my arms hurt. You just blew my mind Jason. I feel like i just turned the corner on my woodworking skill set. Thank you for sharing this information.
Wow!!! Finally! Thank you so much. I am definitely guilty of over-tightening the clamps on my panel glue-ups. Now I understand why I have had so much trouble getting flat panels. Definitely learned something here. Hopefully my next dining room table will be easier to get to flat after glue-up. :)
Super helpful, Jason. I am in the middle of building 2 desks for each of my sons and the first turned out not so flat. Will incorporate these tips on the next one! Thanks!
Well done. Something that most of us "know", but you laid it out in a way that is difficult to ignore in the future. This approach eliminates the need for cauls 75% of the time. Thank you for illustrating this in a simple way!
Thank you Sir, your comments and the cadence of your delivery are spot on. There was a time when we had to build a clamp rack for a glue up and close the joints flatten the work with the wedges in the rack system. You hit the method of operation right on. Love the wood grain!
Thanks Jason! I used this technique yesterday during a glue-up and was surprised how cupped my panel was when I initially put the straight edge down. Saved me lots of sanding! Thanks again.
A master class in an essential wood working skill- flat panel glue ups! Great video. As I watched your video I was remembering the evolution of this glue up process in our own shop. Currently, we do it exactly as shown - in every detail. But, we have had employees that swore by using cauls and cranking the clamps to the breaking point. In fact, one fella did successfully prove his strength by breaking a pipe clamp! We had to wonder if there was any glue left in the joint!
Very nicely explained and straightforward - thank you. I have 10' long x 2" thick walnut planks in my basement, that has air dried for the last 5 years. This will be first dining room table - if all goes well.
Nice and useful demonstration ! Thanks a lot, because I'm one of those "overtighting" guy, thinking that dead cranked clamps was the best method… I'll sure test your tip for my next project ! Best regards from France, one more follower here !
Perfect video - thank you... I can't wait to try all of this out on my next panel glue up, particularly the genius trick! And how have only 2% of views liked this video?? How could you watch this and not like it??!
Thank you for making the effort to be so thorough in teaching great woodworking techniques. This video is so helpful, as I've experienced all the hurdles that you have shown us how to avoid. Best to you, my friend!
A great practical and actionable video. Thanks. IIRC you once mentioned you joint boards with a track saw. It would be great if you could show us how you go about that.
This is, by far, the best video on panel glue ups on youtube. Thank you.

Glad you found it helpful
Excellent information, loved the straight edge portion!!! Thanks for sharing.
Nicely done. Logical, clean and neat.
Great advise! Thanks so much for this.
The straight edge idea is awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely brilliant video. great instruction.

Glad to help
me too
Thx. You just spared me the job in the future of additional clamping vertically!
Fantastic video! I tend to always over tighten, and have to spend way too long trying to sand it flat! Thank you very much
Excellent tip! Thank you. So true, the instinctual reaction is to try and "tighten" your way out of this problem.
Wow!!! Finally! Thank you so much. I am definitely guilty of over-tightening the clamps on my panel glue-ups. Now I understand why I have had so much trouble getting flat panels. Definitely learned something here. Hopefully my next dining room table will be easier to get to flat after glue-up. :)
This is a good one, Jason. This is always a topic in woodworking groups that seems to be almost as misunderstood as dust collection.
Thank you for this! Excellent
Very good. Clear and helpful.
Thank you for a really clear demonstration of how clamping pressure helps determine perfect flatness in a glue-up.
Super helpful, Jason. I am in the middle of building 2 desks for each of my sons and the first turned out not so flat. Will incorporate these tips on the next one! Thanks!
This video gives me a ton of confidence for my next large glue-up. Thank you!
I feel like I attended a master class with all your presentations. Thank you.
This video is valuable on the don’t overtighten clamps lesson alone. Thanks, Jason!
Excellent! I've been an aggressive amateur woodworker, but this problem has always haunted me. Thanks, and subscribed!

Great tips for us part time wood woodworkers. As well, good reminders about saving cleanup under your glue up and the clamps, Well done.

Thank you! I found this very helpful.
This was really helpful for me. Thank you!

good knowledge, and great video so clear , thks
Really great tip! I’ll be doing this from now on
I actually noticed this phenomenon this weekend on a glue-up I’m doing. I noticed that loosening the clamp caused it lay flat. 👍🏻
thank you going to make my first and I would have overtightened for sure.
This is a great hack for flat panels. Thanks for sharing

It's really nice if all your pieces are from the same log for consistency with color and grain orientation
