Coop Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I haven’t seen cauls mentioned in a while. I have a container of these sticks and have not used them in a good while. I have 6 pieces of 1 1/4” stainless of angle that I use instead. I’m trying to justify getting rid of the wooden ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some rather expensive ones hanging on the wall that I only use about once a year. maybe. But, when I need them, I'm sure glad they're there!

Coop Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 Expensive as in not homemade? How do they differ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a slight camber to them and are designed to take an F clamp. Neither option is anything more than a luxury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I don’t keep a dedicated cull set in the shop. If I need a cull I just head to the scrap pile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmize Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I normally just pick thru scrap pile also. On my bench build a few months ago. I built a set of heavy duty cauls for the top glue up. I used slotted unistrut an 3/8” all thread to squeeze down with jamb nuts an ratchet to adjust the pressure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to get rid of scrap piles, the three gallon bucket of cauls included. I realized I had a problem years ago and am just finally trying to work on it. Withdrawal is a bitch! ?

Woodenskye (Bryan) Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 If you mess up a couple parts on every project you won’t need a scrap bin. Not that I would know this fact. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 My past cull qualifications were that if it’s shorter than the required 12” of the 735, and less than 1” thick, and doesn’t have a great grain pattern, and can’t be used for something else, then burn it. Every thing else, it will come in handy in the future. Thus you see my addiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
