I’ve never seen any furniture maker use this clamping technique, but it’s one that we always used while installing millwork on jobs during my pre-retirement days. I find it a very useful and I use it a lot. Packing tape!! It doesn’t damage any edges and can be made to pull in whatever direction you need to clamp. Stuck and stretched tightly, its clamping possibilities are endless. Think miters and butt joints that are epoxied, to say nothing of a weird shaped crest rail on the back of a chair.
