If you’ve ever tried to glue up boards or panels and realised your clamps are too short, you don’t own long clamps, or you simply ran out of them, this video is for you. Today I’m showing a super simple and incredibly effective clamping solution you can build in under 20 minutes using nothing but scrap wood you already have in your workshop.

This DIY jig lets you handle wide glue-ups without buying extra clamps. Whether you’re using plywood, solid wood offcuts, or even laminated chipboard, this quick build will give you the pressure you need for flat, strong, reliable panels.

Perfect for beginners, small workshops, and anyone who wants to save money while getting great results.
