Default Miter/corner clamps for wide stock?

I need some miter clamps for a table I'm planning. Clamps will

hold 1.5" thick x 5" wide boards @ 45 degs. Since I will only be
joining 2 such boards at a time (not 4, like a picture frame) the

strap
type clamps won't work.

Use some 1/2" CDX and some 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" cleats temporially fastened
to it to build a jig that will allow you to use standard bar clamps.
