This time around I plan to create miter joints on the corners of my

since you cant see it, but I got this miter saw so I'll get my wife
to bring me a glass of water while the wood is on the saw
illustrating how valuable it is

anyway, I am wondering about the clamps. With box frame corners I
just clamp horizontally. If I try that with mitered corners the top
will squeeze out. I suppose if I had big enough clamps I could but 1
each way, but I imagine that trickery would be too much for me before
the glue hardener... What type of *new tool* to I need to support
glueing / clamping these corners up? (admitedly if I can do it
without a new tool that will work too)

Have you got a band clamp? (and this one time, at band camp...)

No, will that be sufficient to ensure quality joint strength?

Absolutely, with one proviso--the miters need to be accurate (but that
would hold true if you use ANY clamping method). do a test fit with the
clamp and see if you see any gaps. Use a shooting board to correct them
if necessary.
