I make go-bars out of scrap wood; ipe decking makes great go-bars. Even without a radius dish you can do many tasks wit a go-bar deck - gluing center stripes, rosettes, soundboard braces, even glue tops and backs to the sides. You can also glue every brace together; this is all but impossible with cam clamps.
Okay, you're going to have to explain that statement. How is it impossible to glue the braces with cam clamps? Even if the clamping surface doesn't reach the surface of the brace because of another brace being in the way, can't you just use a caul? I see folks using those with go-bar decks anyway. Or are you saying the the range of possibilities is impossible with cam clamps?
