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!

Looks like my best bet is to use a web clamp which I can get from lowes.
Only problem is the frame is about 80"x45" which is about 22'
circumference but the web clamp is only 15'. I wonder if I can find
some extra webbing at lowes. If I cant Ill use John B's technique.
Whats difference between a band clamp and a web clamp?

Second issue will be how to keep such a jumbo frame flat while I clamp
it. I don't even have a workbench yet. I suppose I could clamp it in
the driveway but im not excited about that technique. My wifes black
wooden table has become the defacto bench in the basement. She's slowly
starting to notice this, hehe. But this frame is bigger than this table.

maybe one of those old sheets of drywall in the garage 1 step away from
the trash will work out?
