Something so simple yet is a must for glue ups 👍👍

[@CasualDIY]

totally agree 👍

[@barry.w.christie]

The simplest of ideas can sometimes be the best ... as for showing stuff others have done, you gave credit where credit is due, you have also spread this particular idea to an even bigger audience ... brilliant in all respects 👍

[@CasualDIY]

Thank you kindly

[@danutafranczyk8663]

Great idea Tomasz!

[@MrBigMalT]

Clever! You could even drill some oversize holes in the top edge of the pipe, so a woodscrew could pass right through. Then you could screw through the plastic into the timber for a stronger fixing 😀

[@CasualDIY]

Can go either way. This seems a bit quicker and it's very strong and stable 👍

[@hansdegroot8549]

Great idea. Thanks for sharing. In the past I've been subscribed to JB's channel, but I think it's been more than two years now since I've last time watched one of his videos. I should go back there.

He is not posting as much as he did. I know he had some health issues and had to scale down a bit. But he was the very first KZbinr that inspired me to start woodworking and having a KZbin channel. He is a great guy.

[@Smallbarnworkshop]

Wow. So simple I’m (almost) speechless! Great video. Regards JP

[@CasualDIY]

Great simple jig for glue ups 👍

[@tonyworkswood]

Brilliant quick and easy to clean afterwards. Nice one Tomasz. Tony

[@CasualDIY]

Thank you kindly. They are worth making for sure

[@Rusty_ok]

Great idea. Going to make a set for my upcoming projects.

[@CasualDIY]

Well worth making 👍

[@naecheeze]

Good idea Tomasz, thumbs up for stating you saw it elsewhere. I got a tip a while ago Re, glue ups and that was to alternate the clamps (one above, one below) this was to prevent potential warping.

[@CasualDIY]

Yes on larger glue ups it's definitely worth doing that 👍

[@idlersdream826]

That's brilliant, not seen it before, so thanks for showing us 👍

[@CasualDIY]

No problem 👍

[@puddinggeek4623]

An excellent video as always. Great hints and tips as always.

[@CasualDIY]

Glad you like them!

[@davidstevensasidewayslook8831]

quick, handy and easy to put together = me in the workshop this afternoon banging some together (I'm sure ive got a few bits of pvc pipe up in the rafters……)

[@CasualDIY]

Exactly and they work great 👍

[@MCsCreations]

Ohhh... I almost forgot about this idea! 😯 Thanks, Tomasz! I'm definitely going to make some for my shop as well!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 BTW, Jay's a great guy!

[@CasualDIY]

Well worth making mate 👍 All the best.

[@IfDawidCanYouCan]

_Brilliant idea..._

[@CasualDIY]

And it works great 👍

[@chrisybradshaw8594]

Tomasz i noticed that blade guard on your saw looks amazing has it been on your videos,?

[@CasualDIY]

Yes, here is the link - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn_Ig3WPrayppNU

[@jeffcarr392]

I'd not seen this concept before. At first I thought it was going to be some sort if Caul system (to keep the boards from sliding up or down when clamping).

[@CasualDIY]

I seen a long time ago on Jay's channel and finally decided to make some

[@bldcompsol]

Great idea and video as always. One thing that caught my eye is that you don’t seem to using an evolution blade in your mitre saw, could you tell us what it is please

[@CasualDIY]

I got the Freud blade installed

[@bldcompsol]

@@CasualDIY thank you

[@joejones6159]

Tomasz, have you fitted a ‘soft start’ module to your mitre saw as well?

[@CasualDIY]

No, mine seems to either have one in it or it just starts very slow 🤣

[@rossen_nikov]

With all due respect, but if you have these clamps that have already/form a flat surface why should you use additional hardware? If somebody doesn't have descent board clamps and needs to make flat board than the idea might come as handy one. It is my opinion, of course.

[@CasualDIY]

What I find with them is that quite often I waste time on aligning the boards on them. As I move one clamp or try to push the jaws onto the wood then the boards move and go out of alignment etc. Thus way I just got better access for the bottom so adding extra clamps from the bottom is also not a problem.with these platforms. That's just my findings and experience. For me this way (with these platforms) seems much better, quicker and easier. But each to their own I guess.

[@rossen_nikov]

@@CasualDIY Just want to add that if I have to make a longer board, I consider extra clamps from the beginning so no need of adding clams from the bottom. I agree that small movement of any clamp causes (could cause) realignment, but I think, in this particular case, if you do not fix the wood strips to the tubes, you will experience the same problem once you touch the strips with the clams. Anyway, if somebody finds this useful it is a good reason to be pointed out. Respect!

[@dennisseemann571]

I have a set of these I made years ago, and they work fine for panels and cutting boards, but what I use most of the time these days is this clamping platform for the woodworking companions channel; kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6bNhnlrqNB2sKs I made is lat year and I love it. A bit more of a storage issue than the jay bates model but has some very significant advantages.

[@CasualDIY]

Hmm seems like an interesting idea
