I have been commissioned to build a headboard. It is being constructed
with mahogany and is being stained with General Finishes Georgian Cherry.
The basic design will be Federal.

The main panel between the posts has to be wider than any of my clamps
capicity. I could have screwed some of my old pipe clamps together but I
still did not have enough. I needed to clamp in 4 locations a distance
almost 74", so not even my 6' clamps would work.

Any way I made my 40"+ clamps work.

Then center piece on top was simply resting on top only being held in
place by the opposing forces of the clamps.

Tongue firmly in cheek

The problem here is very obvious Leon. YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH CLAMPS!!

Time to break down and buy some of those new Festool Ten Footers!! LOL

Seriously though, that was a good solution utilizing what you had laying
around.
