Howdy,
A few years ago I had a WW magazine that had plans on how to build a clamp jig that hung on a wall vertically. It used 3/4" pipe clamps, vertically hung on 3/4" plywood brackets then mounted to 3/4" plywood cut about 6" wide x 8' long that were mounted to the wall horizontally. In between each clamp, was aluminum angle, front and back to align the edge glued boards.
The width of the table is only limited to the length of the pipes, mine are 5', the length is expandable by adding more clamps.
The reason I want to use this set up is that you set the sliding parts of the clamps down to the desired width, stack the edge glued boards, tighten the aluminum angle( steel and glue stains wood),to make the boards flush as possible and tighten the clamps.
The whole set up only takes up wall space, not floor space.
I have an idea of how it's made, but would much rather have the plans if anyone here knows of them.
Thanks for any help,
Rick
