A couple years ago I got a handful of F clamps for christmas.

My wife: “I thought you already have clamps”

Me: “Yes, I do. But not enough.”

Wife: “How many is enough?”

Me: “One more than I have.”

Also a little 18ga brad nailer makes those glueups way easier.

Not true for plywood in my experience. You will never get as tight of a glue up using only brads/pins as you would with clamps and a mechanical fastener. Screws yes but I don’t think brads have the holding power to prevent any gaps from forming during the glue up process.

I have about ten clamps in my shop … and I don’t even do any regular woodworking.
