Woodpeckers' new Joint Bridge clamping pads address an issue that has challenged woodworkers as long as there has been glue. No matter how carefully you joint and plane material, when you put a group of boards in your clamps, there’s always just a little bit of twist, cup or bow left, and the faces don’t line up perfectly. Blame Mother Nature. Stress in the boards is released as you machine them. With each new surface you create, the boards are being pulled in new and different directions. Woodworkers have dealt with this problem in hundreds of different ways for thousands of years…with mixed results. Our new Joint Bridges provide a novel, problem-solving solution to this age-old problem. In a nutshell, they localize the pressure to even out each joint individually. And do it without getting inadvertently glued to your carefully prepared workpiece. These simple, economical clamping aids deliver smoother, flatter panel glue-ups, which require less planing and sanding.
