Throw away your woodworking clamps and make this instead | DIY clamping panel

Most woodworkers say you can never have enough clamps. I say throw your clamps away and make this DIY panel clamp instead (or at least buy fewer clamps 😉). This DIY melamine clamping panel is a super simple design and can take the place of multiple metal parallel, bar, or f-style clamps in your shop. You can easily make this woodworking panel clamp in an afternoon with basic tools, and it will last for years. The best part? This panel clamp costs under $20 to make! It uses less than a quarter sheet of melamine, a 16“ length of dowel, and a few small scrap boards. ⏳ Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction 0:11 - Materials 0:30 - Construction of the clamping panel 2:00 - Drilling grid of holes for the clamping panel 3:36 - How to use the clamping panel 🛠️ Tools and materials ▸ Sawstop Table saw – the best table saw I’ve ever had ▸ Bosch 12V MAX Drill/Driver combo: ▸ DeWalt Trim Router: ▸ Forstner bit set: ▸ More tools: Disclosure: Links to tools and material are affiliate links.
