Hey guys, good morning. I was having a discussion with the co-owner of a local company that makes reclaimed furniture yesterday about the biggest challenges working with the old material. He and I agreed that the glue up of the table tops is the biggest annoyance and time eater. Then I remembered working for a millwork company back when I was in high school (graduated in 1989) and operating a "glue wheel"......it was a tray of glue with a large rotating paint roller and you could just run the material across to apply the adhesive and then start stacking it in this huge wheel of clamps. The clamps would spin on an axis and looked to me much like a Farris wheel which were locked into position with a fence system operated by your foot. You had to be careful loading material in the "wheel" and make sure you loaded the clamps opposite of each other in order to keep it balanced. All the clamps were pneumatic as well as the hold down you used to flatten the material for clamping. I have "Googled" until I am exhausted and can't come up with anything. Does anyone know what this archaec machine is called?? Driving me nuts.
FOUND IT. It's called a clamp carrier. Horribly expensive I might add.
