I am interested in your clamp rack over your jointer. How is it made?

not sure, if I`m able to answer in a comment, but the construction is quite simple... It is made from a particle board mounted on a wall. The particle board holds several pipe clamps. But the main issue with panel glue ups is for me to keem the boards aligned and straight (not bowed). So I`ve added several cauls. Bottom cauls are mounted directly to the particle board and are straight. The top cauls are a chamfered/bowed so they apply even preasure even in the middle of the glued panel. This setup works but it has some downsides, so I`ve built recently a full metal clamp rack, which is much better. But the cost of the metal clamp rack was around 600$. Still much cheaper then to buy a proffesional one for about 1 500$

How thick are the panels and the raised pieces??

The front panel is about 25mm thick and the inlayed pieces are about half the thickness, so they are not actually raised, but since the main panel and the inlayed pieces are a bit sculpted, it might look like it is ;)
