I made this for small board and panel glue ups. Nothing fancy, quick and easy to use. I always get good results. If I'm worried about a panel buckling, I just set something heavy on it. It's all been rubbed down with paste wax but I use wax paper too. I'm a belt and suspenders guy.

Looks pretty good and like it works well. Always looking for ideas to clamp things together, usually cmapl a few long boards to the bench at a right angle when I glue up door panels and such.
I’ve decided I need a ‘jig/fixture shed’. Nothing ridiculous, maybe like 250sq ft just to hang and store jigs. I’d even be willing to store my dust collector and compressor in there…now all I need is 250sq ft.

For a belt and suspenders kind of guy, yours is like 100 times more advanced than mine, which is similar to Eric´s but on a board I can move around and trip over.
If I read the picture correct those are the Rockler slip knobs you are using.... yes/no, they are brilliant for long threads that are subject to lengthy knob movement... there should be a review (hint, hint) of them here.
Reminds me to post a blog about my small office assembly bench.

Did you ever make a new jig, then find out you already had one made , didn't know you had it or where it was? Guilty
I'm considering hiring a full-time "Jig File Clerk" who organizes and stores all my jigs for me in a 5,000-square-foot jig warehouse and keeps me from making duplicates! Every time I see any unique jig, I think I should make it!
