I have made a clamp for holding the rings of a segmented bowl while they are being glued together. I had thought I would make a clamp that worked like an apple press; holding the rings together by pushing down from the top. But this seemed like a lot of extra structure and overly complicated. I came upon the idea of pulling the rings together by way of a threaded rod attached to a base. The rings sit on the base and a rod is attached to the center of that base and come up through the center of the rings. The rod pulls on a bearing plate that is held down by a nut on the threaded rod. This bearing plate keeps pressure on the rings while the glue cures.
