Having used thousands of feet of this stuff as an industrial electrician I can tell you that the 1-5/8” version is much stiffer than the 7/8” you show here, there’s also 3-1/4” deep if you really need stiff stuff. In addition, they sell heavy square washers so you can use the strut with the flat side against the wood to minimize denting of the wood.

[@BustedKnuckleWoodworks]

The washers are great, I recently discovered those during a random stroll through my local HD. I’m aware of the larger sizes but those are more expensive and probably overkill for most glue ups unless you need to go really wide. Thanks for the tips, very helpful. I love when the viewers are smarter than me!

[@akbychoice]

@@BustedKnuckleWoodworksthere are magnetic washers too for uni strut. Makes placing them much easier.

[@BustedKnuckleWoodworks]

@@akbychoice really? I've never seen the magnetic ones. Gonna have to check those out!

[@grahamcairns2249]

As a commercial plumber who has also used thousands of feet of this, I came to say the same.

[@vincenthuying98]

As a former plumber I’ve used superstrut in the thousands of meter range. Installed equivalent amounts of pipe on ‘m, also used it to create mounting solutions in awkward situations and spaces, for all kinds of appendages. These struts are also excellent for making mounting points in basements, without having to drill once into the basement walls. On the deep end, I’ve used superstrut to reenforce the inside ‘retaining’ walls of my version of an Earthship, where I wasn’t allowed to use discarded tires at the specific location. On the use of the carriage bolts, that’s of course a viable option. However, when one flips the strut with the smoothest side to the be glued object, the true value of the strut can be used. With the open side of the strut available, one can use threaded rod to length, put a slide nut on the rod, put this through the hole of the strut closest to the workpiece and then place the slide nut in position on the ‘fingers’ of the ‘C’. Following, this position can be fixed in position with a similar washer and hex nut. It secures the bolt at the location for several work pieces of the same width. Much easier than sliding the carriage bolt from underneath. Absolutely agree with Kevin Stenger on the 1 5/8” version being much stronger, and for heavy duty the 3 1/4” is indeed excellent. Equivalent in metric R2 15mm, R2 20mm, R3 40mm, R4 46mm, R6 60mm. Of which the R3 version is a double sided (thick) strut, which may be an option for super heavy duty. Cheerio

[@draztiqmeshaz6226]

Hey, so not that you asked but here's a mod to this that would help keep them flat. For each caul, set a small offcut from the piece being clamped (same thickness) on the other side of each bolt to counteract any flex that would bow out the middle.

[@BustedKnuckleWoodworks]

Amazing suggestion, especially for the wooden cauls.

[@BustedKnuckleWoodworks]

@@kkarllwt also a great suggestion 👍

[@MK-lh3xd]

This is a great suggestion. I was worried about the possible bulge in the middle too. But it is probably not an issue for 2.5 ft, more of an issue for wider boards. In those cases, you could also load the middle with plywood sheets or dumbbells 😅

[@j10001]

Genius. Like all the best ideas, it’s obvious in retrospect but I didn’t think of it.

[@warr68]

they taught us back in school, you know back in the old days when they actually taught shop classes in school, anyways they taught us to put paper towel between any glue joins you didnt want permanent. you could easily break the glue join and sand off any excess glue. would be a good option should you choose the wooden cauls

[@ASR_385]

Hey Lee, I've been using unistrut as cauls for years and its great to see a quality video showcasing the different ways to go with this. I would add that there is also a deeper throat version of the strut which is what I had used in the past, especially for wider glue ups. One way to save a bit and have an even more flexible system is to use all thread which you can but in 5 or 10' lengths and cut it to length for thicker projects with 2 bolts and 2 washers per side. Few more pieces but it really gives an additional level of flexibility. Great video!

[@BustedKnuckleWoodworks]

The all-thread is a good idea, but I like the carriage bolts because you don't need to hold a wrench on the bottom nut. I like Unistrut too, but it's not as easy to find for most people (most of the big box stores don't carry it). I used to know a guy who worked for the city in Public Works back when I lived in Maine, and he used to give me old green sign posts to use!

[@m1ha1mateescu]

[@tomdeutsch3141]

One add-on for the sticklers out there; you could add some blue tape (or other thin shims) to the middle if you're concerned about getting full pressure at the middle. Unistrut is a great idea - I never got the hang of making a curved caul on the jointer anyway and you're right, you need 6 hands to put them in place.

[@BustedKnuckleWoodworks]

Yep - shims, tape, even some strategically placed nylon washers might do the trick!

[@johnvrabec9747]

I was going to post that, take the wood and plane off each end just a few times from about a third from the edges to form a slight "bow". Then, when you tighten the ends down, you'll get more consistent clamping force across the entire width. I was also thinking to turn the wood caul on edge instead of the "flat" side as it should be stronger and less chance of flex.

That is certainly a good 'off label' use. Gotta say, I have found the Rockler panel clamps darn easy to use, not fiddly at all, they even used some sort of paint that allows any glue that runs out onto them to be knocked off easily. With a couple of shims, I'm using them lately to clamp up some coopered chair seats, saving me having to build a special jig for the job. All the Best to you. -Veteran '66-68

[@matthewgreen9121]

I use this method. Two suggestions. 1. Turn the unistrut over so that the perforated face is against the timber - this spreads the load and avoids marking the timber. 2. Stick some PTFE/ Teflon tape on the face of the unistrut to make it totally glue resistant.

[@BustedKnuckleWoodworks]

Both excellent suggestions, thanks

[@EOTE_TX]

I loved this idea as I do lots of panels for cabinets (never use plywood). It was smart to show the different options as well.

[@BustedKnuckleWoodworks]

Love to know if you give this a try, how it works for you 👍

[@EOTE_TX]

I will be fabricating more panels in a couple of weeks so I will give this a try. I actually have this material on hand from a left over electrical project. I will be fabricating both oak and elm panels for the cabinets. I generally use DeWalt 24" one-hand clamps for clamping as I bought a couple of dozen of them for a massive project. For larger lay ups I use pipe clamps, both 1/2" and 3/4" with lengths up to 6'. I think 2 of your cauls will work for each panel glue up. I usually do 4 to 6 panels at a time so I will have to make a few sets.@@BustedKnuckleWoodworks

No more struggling, juggling wooden cauls with tape on them just to have to adjust them and they fall off to start over again. I did take your advice and get wing-nuts as well as hex-nuts, but I ended up threading the hex-nut on the bolt after putting it through the bottom bar, therefore keeping the bolt in place.

Lee, I have recently been looking for a solution such as this. Considered angle iron, tube steel and others to provide the strength that wooden cauls just don't give. Had not cosidered this option. This is a great solution and very "do-able". Thanks for sharing and another great video.

Best intro in the history of KZbin. And I'm gonna make some of these!

I just watched this. Thank you! I subscribed. For not much money I will have four 2-1/2 foot long cauls. Perfect! I will be going to Lowes this weekend.
