Thanks for the comment. These have been a big help with all of the Noodle Board orders coming in for the holidays.

I like the idea. Thanks! I Definitely don't have enough clamps.

[@Patriotsglow]

Glad to hear it. I think we all deserve more clamps in our life. Thanks for the feedback.

But those clamps don't apply any pressure on the joints you will be glueing. Or am I missing something?

[@Patriotsglow]

That's a valid question. Depending on how wide your piece is determines where you put the bolts to apply more pressure. The amount of pressure that you need to apply shouldn't be astronomical to keep panels lined up. And with these being constructed out of metal it should apply an equal amount of pressure along the boards.

[@dougggiereid]

@@Patriotsglow But you are missing my point. You are going to put wood glue between all the pieces of wood but your clamps do not press the pieces towards each other at all.

[@Patriotsglow]

@dougggiereid okay, I see what your saying. The panel clamps are only to keep panels lined up together. You still need clamps on the end to squeeze the boards together.

@dougggiereid my next video isn't really long. I will throw a quick demonstration into the video if you want?

[@Patriotsglow]

@@dougggiereid they are made of steel and should apply enough pressure on your pieces to make sure they don't slid.

If you flipped the C-channel over, you probably won't need the washers...

[@Patriotsglow]

Yeah there is something to that, that I might get around to showing in a future video. But it would be better to flip it.
