Quoted from robotron911:Just an FYI from one of the pics in this post. You should always clamp using a block.
The block does two things:
1. Protects work piece from indentations from the clamp face. You don't have to over-tighten to get indentations. Softer woods and plywoods often are not hard enough to accept suitable clamping pressure.
2. Distributes the clamping pressure more uniformly over a larger area. In this case, I would have a simple 2x4 cut to the length of the cab joint and apply multiple clamps.
One of the most common errors, if not the most common error, in woodworking is not appropriately applying clamps. Hint: there is no such thing as too many clamps.
Great points. Sometimes though the clamp is not large enough to accomodate the extra block as we've all found out in the past.
