Found time to dowel joint (Joint Genie Pro)& biscuit joint (Screwfix
cheapy) some cupboards in PAR Oak with white polypropylene back
panels.

For the cupboards I notice the oak is cupped slightly - enough that it
will need clamping as the glue sets. For the end panels I will also
need some form of clamping. The widest cupboard needs an 800mm span.

Is a 36" sash clamp the right tool?
There is Ebay 190040939713 (alloy)& Ebay 190040939346 (T-bar) for £20
& £23/pair.

There's a bodge that I was taught, which is to tie a piece of stout
string around the workpiece then tighten it by twisting a screwdriver
through a loop of it. It's a lot cheaper than buying a sash-cramp.
