For years I would use clamps to along the length of the frame or door

to tap the rails back out to the ends of the stiles flush with the clamp
face,

Below Is my solution that requires no tapping and it pulls every thing up
snug and flush,
After tightening the clamps pulling the sides of the stiles up to the ends
of the rails I remove every thing else, all other clamps.

I'm always eager to learn from (someone else's) experience, but your
photo puzzled me. My first question was the same as woodchuckers; you
seemed to have everything clamped *except* the joints themselves!

I think I get that this setup is for getting the pieces aligned first.
But now I'm wondering what mechanical connection you use between the
rails and stiles. I know you're a Domino user; is that what's in there?
And if so, (asking my usual ignorant question here) doesn't the loose
tenon set the alignment? Or is there some slop?
