Clamping is the backbone of woodworking, You have to have the right clamp for your project.
There are lots of different kinds of clamps out there and there’s a reason for that. Proper clamping is a must, you do not want to spend a lot of time and effort working on making the parts for your project then Glue and clamp them up with the wrong tools and have the joints fail. So my advice is to take the Time and find the right clamps that are specifically made for the project your working on. More on clamping.....
