Most people think of presses as something used only by bowl makers, but they are very useful for any situation where precision gluing is required, along with evenly applied pressure.
I decided to add a small press to my collection, sizing it at 6" x 6". I used 3/4" thick plywood to prevent flex, and 3/8" carriage bolts, each 4" long. I'm planning to use it for smaller pieces that can be fidgety to clamp.
My main reason for making one, however, was to facilitate the removal and re-clamping of the workpiece in order to clean up glue squeeze-out, which I find easier to do with a press than with conventional clamps.
Good use for a small scrap of quality plywood!

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. Nevertheless think about if you added some great photos or videos to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this website could definitely be one of the greatest in its niche. Excellent blog!
