When gluing a door frame into a movable wall panel last week I needed a few clamps. Now when the better half bugs me when spending cash for more clamps, I can just show here this picture. The panel is a honeycomb material made at a local mill. In this case its faces on both sides with 1/4 MDF. Interesting stuff to work with. This 4×9 x 2.5 panel weighs in at 123 lbs.

Hey Pete
The more the better I think last count I was up to 225 and I still run out sometimes. Show this to your wife it should get up to 225 to start.

Nice work!
It really depends on how much clamping work we are prepared to do at a time.
But surely like Jim and BW have said, the more the better.

wait… was that a rhetorical question?
the way I see it – the fact that Jet, Bessey, Jorgensen, Irwin, and others keep on making clamps, means they all end up somewhere (?)... so I guess it’s never enough

Absolutely agree…................As Norm always says “A man can never have enough clamps”. How true it is.

After you have enough. You run out and need more.
