Speaking of clamps, the boards are 1" x 2" finished size and will be
glued so the edges make the surface of the top...you know what I mean.
Anyway, how far apart should I put the clamps?

Use as many clamps as you have. Minimum spacing would be 6". I would
suggest using cauls to hold the boards flat during glue up.

Thanks for the help. I really enjoy working with wood, but I'm pretty
much
a rookie with this stuff. What's a caul? If it'll keep the boards flat
I'll use 'em!

A caul is a (pair of) boards, sometimes with a slight "belly" to them,
that you would use to clamp to the top and bottom of whatever you are
gluing to keep them lined up.

And if you have that many boards you are gluing together you either need
a very efficient roller (and technique) to put the glue on the boards,
or, like someone said, put them together in sections.
