I came across this video for a clamping system and I'm going to modify it for fretboard clamps. Here is my idea. Just make as many as you need.CLICK HERE to watch the video.

Hi This what I use for violins over the past few years. They also help to line up the fingerboard. And apply good clamping pressure.
Wow! You have to be kidding me! I have a butt load of those, we use them for securing cabinet doors and drawers in the RV when we are traveling. Thanks for the idea.
Even just a bolt, wing nut, and blocks of wood.
Prolly use those door framing wedges sold in packs at Home Depot/Lowes.
U bolts will work, to clamp necks and fret boards together. Less to make to use with them. Just make the boards out of left over neck, or fret board material.
That's cheating! LOL I never even considered using u-bolts, definitely something to think about. My neighbor uses zip ties and mi I wedges. He puts on a barely loose zip with the locking part toward the bottomtaps in a wedge. The zipzip keeps the fingerboard in alinement as well as clamping force.
Love that guy's channel. Awesome idea. Gotta let everyone know how these work for ya.
Its so simple it's almost scary. Makes you think to yourself "Duh dumbass why didn't I come up with it?" LOL
