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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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

Ok you got a subscription from me for this one, only the second one of yours that I watched. I just did my first glue-up with these new cauls. Amazing! 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. I love how you can loosen them up and slide them around without falling apart. The only thing is....now I have to make about three more! Thanks man!

35 years ago when I bought my Shop Smith I got 2 of their caul - clamps. These will clamp and put pressure on the flat sides at the same time. It works for glue ups that are 16 inches or less. Then somewhere I found generic ones so now I have 4 and I remember seeing the clamping parts (no wood included) somewhere in a book...

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.
