This time around I plan to create miter joints on the corners of my
stereo cabinet frame. I will also be creating a frame for a projector
screen and I plan to miter that as well. Not sure why 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)

Thanks again!

G'day,
I band clamp is the way to go, but you do not have to buy one. You can
make a simple, but very efficient one with a rope.

Tie a rope tightly around your frame.
Cut 8 pieces of timber
Place 2 in the centre of each side of the frame between it and the rope.
Now by sliding the pieces of timber towards the corners of the frame you
will apply tension.
Measure for square cnr to cnr on the frame and adjust the blocks
individualy to make you frame square.
This method was the only one available when I started cabinet making and
it works well. Although I have a band clamp I still revert to the rope
trick quite often
Hope this helps
regards
John
