Glue-up Blocks for Panels

I recieved a email from Woodpeckers tool sale for some Glue-up Panel Blocks. I thought thats a cool idea and a quick way to keep boards flat while gluing them up. While the price seemed fair, I have a close friend thats has a machine shop and we always like hanging out and working together. He has alot of materaial stocked up over the years as well. So this is what we came up with.

Wood Gas Automotive tire Automotive exterior Motor vehicle


Bumper Automotive exterior Wood Gas Auto part


Milling Jig grinder Drilling Machine tool Gas


Wood Yellow Flooring Floor Wood stain


Machine tool Gas Machine Engineering Toolroom


Size is 7" x 3" x 1 1/2" Aluminum. We machined them on the Brigeport, cut a 3/4 inch wide by 1/4 deep glue channel for the glue to escape. Cut 1 inch by 3 1/2 long finger grooves on all sides. Located 1/2 inch hole for the rod and threaded the bottom blocks with 1/4 20 threads. Cut the 1/2 rod ends down to 1/4 and cut threads on one end and 1/4 shoulder end for the top knobs. Put two spings approx 3 1/2 for slight tension while opening and closing. They work like a champ.

The wood you see is only scrap and not cut or ready for glue up, was for display only. I waxed the insides so the glue doesnt stick. OVER KILL YES BUT HOW FUN.

All comments always welcome.

I like yours ten times better then Woodpeckers Ken.
Nice having a buddy with a Bridgeport mill.
I am always struggling with clamping cauls and C-clamps.
Your idea is MUCH better.

I agree with Stefag, it's nice to have a friend with a Bridgeport.

Those are really great-wish I knew more about metal working and had the time and patience to learn. Thanks for sharing.
