These glue-up clamps are truly the ultimate ultimate clamps out there.
These best design clamps apply 4-way pressure on the glued wooden panel boards, on both sides, as well as they squeeze the glued material top to bottom.
This type of clamps ensures that the wooden panel boards would remain totally flat both at the top and at the bottom surface, while the enormous amount of the pressure is also applied from the sides.
After trying out these ultimate glue-up clamps, I don't think I will ever use the old type clamps, that only apply the clamping pressure from the sides. The old type of the clamps requires using additional tricks to keep the glued panels flat (F-clamps on the seams or the wooden blocks on each 2 boards connection or other solutions).
The four way pressure clamps are the real winner design, which I've seen being used by Lie-Nielsen, and before them, I've seen it on some Russian DIY channels, so by all means, I am not taking the credit for this genius design. But I believe did improve on the Lie-Nielsen and other designs, and I also made my 4 way pressure glue-up clamps truly heavy duty, by using hardened stainless steel hardware.
Because this particular instance of this design of the glue up clamps is my 1st prototype, I will yet replace the bars with the stainless steel square tubing, and the M10 threaded rod will also eventually be stainless steel.I can proudly conclude that the project was very successful, and I honestly won't ever use any other type of the glue-up clamps.
Seriously they are the ULTIMATE ULTIMATE ones.
