Thanks again everyone for all the great tips and jigs. I am learning something new on every project, so I suppose that's good LOL.

Just a thought Craig, depending on how much accuracy you need,and how your project is assembled; you may be able to design your patterns so the CW drilled a shallow dowel hole in each layer to hold them in place as you clamp them.

Craig,
On of the tips posted on this topic " making thicker boards and keeping from slipping" is to put a few very fine pieces of sand/grit onto one of the boards in the glue. When the boards are placed together the sand will keep the boards from shifting as you clamp them up....

I use the "grains of sand" technique from time-to-time to keep the panels from slipping across each other. Another technique I often use is to use some spring clamps/hand clamps on the edges of the two boards before I apply the clamps and cauls. for the larger glue ups, i think it is important to use clamping cauls (buy them or make your own). It provides for greater clamping pressure evenly spread across the two panels you are gluing together.
