Clamp Set

Using it well

• Apply even pressure — squeeze-out should be beads of glue along the joint, not one big drip.
• Put a clamp above and below the joint to stop the parts rotating.
• Use cauls (waxed offcuts) between clamp and workpiece so the jaws do not dent the wood.

Reference sample in 3D

The model above is a real maple reference block rendered in the browser. It is simulated from a height field rather than photographed, so you can rotate it to see how light behaves across the grain, the end grain and the edges. Drag it, or use the view buttons to look at the top face or the end grain in isolation.
