Pipe Clamps and Heavy Bar Clamps
Use these to apply a lot of pressure over a long distance, as in gluing up a carcass. Pipe clamps are the less expensive alternative. What you get is the head and tail fixtures, you buy the pipe at any length. 3/4" pipe models are strongest, but 1/2" pipe models will suit most needs. I-bar type are more rigid and apply the most pressure where required as in gluing passage doors.
