I have a table with mitered aprons with splines in the aprons and legs.
However, the legs protrude past the corner or intersection of the aprons and
legs, along with an inset of about 1/4 in. I have tried to clamp with
corner clams and bar clamps, but without success. I have posted a photo at:

how to clamp this table is appreciated.
Thanks,

Make a set of corner clamping blocks with a hole drilled in the inside
corner, similar to those used for picture frames. The hole prevents the
points of the miters from getting damaged. For your set the hole needs
to be large enough to clear the legs. See picture at

Don't laugh at the home page, it's an old attempt and I can't find my
notes on it right now.
