The half round sticks is just perfect!

[alextrem]

Very informative. For a beginer like me, can you please make a video or perhaps explain during a live where to start when purchasing clamps. The size, how much, quality...
Thanks

Coffee, breakfast, and another great tutorial from Rob! Any better way to start my day? I mean for real though.

[jeffgriffith]

I have been a novice woodworker for over 25 yrs. The information you've shared was so simple yet profound. Your style is very easy to follow. Great job!

[ApexWoodworks]

Rob, there's not one video you've produced that I haven't learned something from. Outstanding.

MAN you are a good teacher. Putting a little dip in the middle of the board edges is new to me. Thank you for this video and for the always-substantive content.

[BrantAerials]

There are SO many great uses for tape. Thanks for all these tips!

[paulowens]

Funny you mention over tightening... My first job was in a millwork shop and I remember cranking those bar clamps so tight I'd go home with bruises on my palms. After learning more, I've often wondered how strong those glue joints were after I squeezed all the glue out. Would be interesting to test.

Great surface quality illustration with the piece of pencil lead in tip #8 ! That was cool.

[farrierss]

Great tips!
I was waiting for you to solve the problem of a clamp always being 1" too short.

[KimbrellBrad]

I don't like your work - I LOVE it! Always so practical and doable. Thanks for what you do for the woodworking community Rob!

I was surprised not to see any panel clamps. I just started buying them and they are becoming my favorite. Great video. Thank you Rob.

[johnss]

Nice. I learned something today. Thanks.

It’s always good to go back and review some basics. It’s the little things that make the biggest difference.

That 45 degree stress clamping spread angle is excellent info for clamp spacing. I'm just learning about actual woodworking as opposed to finish carpentry. A while back I made some winder stair treads by gluing multiple red oak stair treads together with pipe clamps after running the butted edges through a tablesaw (I don't have a jointer). It worked out well but there were a lot of things I think I got lucky on after watching some of your videos. Getting the panels flush at the edges was challenging. That third hand clamp method would have really helped me. For glued panel edges, you or someone mentioned running the adjacent panels with the table-sawed edges flipped so any slight cut angle out-of-squareness would be supplementary. I didn't know that at the time either but must have squared the blade up close enough.

are most of those 24" medium duty Bessey clamps?? is 24" the most useful size?

[kaitlynbrodell]

I’ve watched this video as well as your “Top 10 Tools” and looked at your website but still can’t seem to find a link to your favorite clamps? Looking for the medium-duty that you said have served you the best. What brand and size would you recommend? We’re trying our hand at cabinets.

Dear Rob, thank you for your exceptional tips.
