is one of the best woodworking mags left (especially with FWW articals
saying you need 42 bar clamps to do a 3 foot glue up).

Actually, they said you need a lot of pressure to do an "optimal" glue
joint. This is true (if you doubt them, take a look at the titebond
website, they suggest a minimum of 100psi for softwoods, and up to
250psi for hardwoods).

They didn't cover how much pressure is necessary for an "acceptable"
joint, which is closer to what most home woodworkers are looking for.
