Quiz for August 4th
Ok kiddies , we will try another simple quiz.
You are gluing up some wide panels and you run out of clamps. For whatever reason its not possible to get more clamps straight away.
How can you finish gluing up all of your panels?

Never happens, I always make sure I've got enough clamps before I start
. However you could use: ratchet straps, multiple truckies hitches (ie one hitch pulling another tight, which in turn pulls a third one tight), a spanish windlass, a few bars and wedges, stack them two high in the clamps with glad wrap in between and using a few wedges to take up any discrepancies, if the panels are small enough and your clamps long enough then put them side by side in the clamps. But mostly, really, you should plan ahead and make sure you do have enough clamps to hand.

Oh thats really easy for me!
Yes, really easy for me! Just take the clamps of hubby's piece of woodwork it certianly isn't as important as mine......lol. Yes, I do agree using the bench, screw in some chocks of wood.....any way wouldn't happen to me, I plan in advance....but yes you men do seem to forget sometimes....lol...lol
Don't think you're playing it safe by walking in the middle of the road.....that's the surest way to get hit by traffic coming from both ways!
I'm passionate about woodwork.......making Sawdust again & loving it!

Running out of clamps halfway through a glue up shows p*ss poor planning.
I always do a dry run before doing a glue up, a good time to determine clamp position and orientation and identify any potential problems.Whatever note you blow youre never more than a semitone away from the correct one....(Miles Davis)

Most of the answers have been posted by experienced woodies and their workarounds all work.
So the workarounds everyone has given could be valuable to newbies who are often short on tools and lack some experience planning the job or they may just be short of money. They can easily get caught without sufficient clamps.
Ashores solution is a good practical answer. It wouldnt take much to have a collection of home made clamps if money is an issue.
Micks idea of a Spanish Windlass is good.
For the benefit of any newbies lets describe a spanish windlass.
Tie a rope around the panel, with a little bit of slack.
Put a stick in the loop of the rope.
Turn the stick around lengthwise so it winds the rope up tight.
Use some packing on the edges of the panel as the rope will damage the edges when it is tight.
Kekemo's solution wouldnt help me as I dont have a husband!!
