<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Naw....... just kidding........... the =
clamp
hardware is designed for a panel at least 16 mm thick, and as this panel =
is only
8 mm thick, I use spacers (they are about 9 mm
thick) - they serve to hold the panel flat and not =
let it
buckle in the middle anywhere.</FONT></DIV>

might not
have ever seen a large soundboard panel being glued up. The picture =
below is
of a panel for a Steinway D being glued up with panel clamps. You =
are
looking at the panel from the keyboard position - that is, the belly =
rail
edge is in the foreground, treble end toward right, etc. Enjoy! =
I sure
enjoyed building it!</FONT></DIV>
