I just picked up 3 Pony double bar clamps off of Craigslist for $20 and he threw in an extra half for free. Has anyone ever used these? They look like a pretty cool idea, the glue-up boards go between the two pipe to keep them aligned.
I always use dowels for my glue-ups. Since I have a horizontal boring machine dowels are the quickest and easiest for me. I don't usually have problems with alignment and usually don't have a problem with bowing if I mill my boards well so they don't take a huge amount of gluing pressure. But at $20 for three of them I couldn't resist. Anything to make glue-ups easier or get better results is worth $20.
I was just wondering if anyone had used these before? I don't have any glue-ups planned on the immediate todo list.
