While we're on the subject, do most of you thickness your plates before or after jointing?

Rough them before and bring in to final thickness after joining.

Surface enough to decide where I want the joint, but usually stay at least .150 or more when joining the plates.


+1 for this method

Seems like it should work, but you'd want three or four of them and wax paper to prevent gluing the plates to the wooden bar. Looks like a mechanical version of roping: LMI's Plate Joining Jig

It looks like the small black block that presses on the side of the wood to be clamped is about 1/2" high. That might prevent anything thinner than 1/2" from working correctly in the clamp. Might want to call them to make sure you can clamp thin wood.
