For a previous project I made some custom clamping cauls for some irregular shaped legs.
Custom cauls are great and are often the answer. While preparing for a similar clamping challenge I had a thought . . . I cut some half-circles from some thick scrap on the bandsaw and shellacked them.
I attached some self-stick anti-slip rubber mat.
I will use these for gentle irregularities where opposing surfaces are not parallel.
I doubt they will tolerate severe angles; there are other methods for that. They seem to work well for surfaces that are somewhat out of plane.
