I have built a set of cauls for gluing up boards. My projects all
revolve around building jigs and benches for woodworking, as I feel
like it is good practice.

I hope you enjoy it.

When I made my cauls I was worried that separated sides would bend
(twist) more than they would if the two pieces were glued directly
together, so forgo the "infinitely" adjustable separation between
bolts. I put the panels to be glued at one end and then supplement
the more distant bolt with a clamp over the panel. I'd make the cauls
even thicker, if I did it again. Rigidity is everything.

Rigidity is everything... That;s what she said.

Well, cauls have to be long enough, too.

You don't need to explain why you build jigs or tools. Building items for
the workshop doesn't need a justification.
