I know some guys love te K bodys but I can never get them to work right, I much prefer the old school pipeclamps with painted black pipes, not the glavinized. For gluing tops I use the method described earlier. I screw some scrap wood down on a work surface slightly smaller than My top and then weight down the middle normaly with a waxed scrap of plywood under my arbor press or other heavy tools laying around. ON some uneven tops were the sides are not even I just run a series of screws into my work board to conform the the edges, if it gets a little deformed it doesn't matter, it'll get cut off.

Filippo,

recon you have enough weight on there
