Now that is funny. I guess pandering to the inexperienced. Did you
notice him panting through the video? No, watch again, especially near
the 9 minute mark.

This looks to be a solution to a problem that does not exist.

I thought it was pretty neat but it is a problem that doesn't exist. A
few boards with slots for the clamps would work just as well. Better,
actually, because the clamps can be put where they're needed.

I've seen over-expensive versions of this idea but it wouldn't take
long to build a couple of rails. Maybe with dogs to hold them up (or
a board at a right angle.

First off if it is designed to save space during storage it saves very
little. I have 22 of these style clamps hanging separately in a 27"
wide space. They are spaced about 1/2" apart and the bars on different
levels fit between the clamping ends.

Second, clamp are heavy. Tie 4 together and add the components to hold
them all evenly and you are talking some serious weight. Did I mention
that he was panting?

Third. I have never needed clamps to be evenly spaced and quite often
my clamps need to go in separately to fine tune where each goes. Gluing
flat panels is not much of what I do.

There are also 4-sided panel glue-up clamps fit together something
like this. I saw one that hung from the wall. Saves space.

Fourth. What if you only need one or two clamps. do you use the whole
assembly again?

Of course not. Get one with only two clamps. One for three. One for
five...

Remember the panting?

Fifth. What problem does this solve?

Probably a fun project for him but not necessary or any kind of
improvement IMHO.

I am familiar with Izzy but don't really recall him building things
except for his channel. Where am I going with that? He still does not
know how to glue up0 panels and not create a glue up mess.

He knows how to make clicks.

Gluing 101. If you run a bead and not spread it evenly you never learn
how much is too much or not enough. And not spreading it evenly is the
number one reason for glue starvation.


If you spread it out evenly and it begins dripping off the edge you put
on too much. In his example he probably put on twice as much glue as
necessary. He had a real mess to clean up and unfortunately cleaning up
the back side of the glue up with all of those extra bars added many
more obstacles to maneuver around.


I always spread the glue to the entire surface and have learned to know
how much is enough by doing so. When I clamp the joint I get an even
hair line of squeeze out. Absolutely no globs or dripping.
