It’s a challenge gluing miter
joints. There just isn’t an easy way to clamp them together. The
store-bought clamps I’ve tried in the past didn’t always pull the joint
together. So I came up with a shop-built corner clamp that uses wedges to
push (or press) the mitered pieces together.
Looking at the photo and drawing, you can see that this corner clamp uses a
piece of plywood for a base. Then a square block and two cleats are glued
and screwed on top. What’s important here is that the inside corner of the
square block is exactly 90°. Then align the inside edge of each cleat
parallel with the inside edges of the block. A pair of wedges sized to fit
between the workpiece and the cleat do all the work.
