What brand of bar clamps are you using there? They look very durable.
A little table salt on joints will also prevent glued joints from moving during clamping. Not saying it should replace the method described here but in other smaller situations. Sugar will NOT work as the crystals are not as sharp and don't bite into the wood the same as salt.
