I'm looking to buy clamps for large glue-ups, since I often rely on the clamps at my local maker space, but they're frequently in use or in short supply. I'm leaning towards pipe clamps but am open to other recommendations too. Can anyone recommend a good set on Amazon?

I'd recommend going with pipe clamps. They're really versatile! Just make sure to get the ones that have feet on them, so they're stable when resting on a flat surface. Makes a big difference during glue-ups!
Pipe clamps are definitely a solid choice! You just need to buy the ends and then you can use whatever length of pipe you want. It's a cost-effective solution for larger projects.
While pipe clamps are great for the price, I think parallel clamps are even better. They help prevent bowing and are generally more user-friendly, though they can be a bit pricier. I have a few Bessey parallel clamps and they really do make a difference!
