scroller111 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Kevin, Depending on how wide you want to go, you can use a couple of pipe clamps. That way they are long enough to put in as many pieces as you want. I hope this is helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I've understood you correctly, you want to make a gluing form. Cut a sheet of 3/4" mdf to create the base of your form. Then cut and screw additional pieces, cut at a right angle, to create the "dead end". Screwing the "dead end" to the base. Then cut and screw together the other portion of the form. Cover all the pices with packing tape so when everything is clamped the blank doesn't adhear to the form. Here's a Youtube video of what I'm talking about. The video is for 'bent' lamination but I think you'll see what I'm trying to explain. Hope this helps. Wilson's Woodworking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscottj Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 didn't have time to view the video, but i thought of holes in the base for pins made of dowel and wedges that can be pulled and moved easily amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
