This guy made glue up table and bungee assisted cauls for gluing up panels.
(The "table" is 2 pieces of slotted sheet goods that he can put on top of
his workbench when needed)
One end of each caul has a piece of bungee cord permanently attached and the
other end uses the ball (as shown below) to hold it upright while you tighten
the clamps. The bungees are basically that extra pair of hands that we are
often looking for.

The making of the cauls and table starts at about 9:00 here. The first 9:00
is basically fluff.

Really? I always thought that there only one way to do any given thing.
Live and learn.
BTW...go negative much?

IMHO learning to glue up panels correctly negates the need for cauls of
any kind.

Yes if your boards are not straight, requiring extra pressure. But
straight boards do not need enough pressure to bow the clamps.

another gizmo for the shop
might make sense for production but there are other ways to do same
that will not need bungies

I agree with Leon, if you need cauls, you are likely doing something
wrong. If anything, EC was not being negative enough.
Are you disagreeing with Leon or just picking on EC?
