Default Clamping beveled joints

Vic Baron wrote:
I have two pieces of oak - 17" x 3" that are beveled 45 degrees along their
length. I need to glue them to form a 90 degree leg. I have some corner
miter clamps that I can put on the top & bottom but what do you recommend to
apply pressure to the center area? Web clamps will actually pull the joint
apart.

Any suggestions?

Thanx,

Vic


Lay the pieces bevel down on the workbench and butt the points together.
Run masking/painter's tape along the seam of the joint. "Fold" the
pieces to close the miter. Put some rubber bands around the pieces to
hold the joint closed.
