Unlike most of the ones you can buy, this one puts the clamping force exactly where it’s needed: across the miter, pushing it tightly closed. And you can make it in an afternoon from scraps and hardware you may already have.

Beautiful video... I found it really relaxing so I watched it again.... and then once more. That's a super clamp and well within the capability of an amateur, like me. Great job.

Tip: cut 1/4" off the corner of the square. Then if glue squeezes out of the joint it won't stick to the inside clamp any more.

Great design and of course video. Took us back a bit at a time you where filming your video’s without talking. Loved how you incorporated the shadows. This video should do well, if you need a corner clamp this is it and everyone can make this. Well done John.👍

Not that I don't like hearing your voice or thought process, this video clearly speaks for itself. Love the style and format great video and build. I know you need likes and comments to drive revenue. I feel it's a shame that the algorithm lord's force content creators to use terrible thumb nail to attract attention. I like how nearly most of you put out doesn't resemble click bait. From one professional to another, thank you so much for what you do.

@Yackhammer75 2 жыл бұрын

Simple yet the best corner clamp I have ever seen. I love the shadow lighting effect of the video itself. Really draws the focus to where it needs to be to see and understand what you are doing. It's also just a really cool affect.

This is great news. 'I Build It' has gotten the software update for darkmode. Back in the day before people had all these options for lighting there were guys in their home shop with a single 60 watt bulb hanging from a wire and that was it. Nice corner clamp. I'm gonna make one today. Thanks for putting it out there.

@marquis2001 2 жыл бұрын

An excellent plan and a beautiful video. You make this build look easy with few measuring marks. A note for beginners, take your time and use straight edges/squares to produce the very precise angles required--especially with the glue up (which can easily slide) and the bolts for the sliding part of the square (which need to be right in the center). Getting things precisely centered and squared will be the key to making this great piece.

I like this design a lot, but I would suggest cutting a bevel on the corner of the square block closest to the joint. Don't want any squeeze-out to glue my project to this jig.

@gordonpromish9218 2 жыл бұрын

I'll have to make a few of these. if I were to make any modification to this design, it would be to carve a channel beneath where the mitered joint is to rest, as clearance for any glue squeeze-out. I would also wax that whole thing to prevent bonding the workpiece to the tool, and to ease clean-up.

I made 4 of these and like them a lot. I found them a bit cumbersome to store though so I bored recesses for the wingnuts in the moving blocks. The wingnuts are still easy to access and now the clamps stack nicely.

Nice clamp, and great idea! In my case, I would make the bottom a kind of 'U' shape, and the diamond piece would have a flat side. That way, I could use an ordinary clamp on it to apply a lot more pressure if needed. I'm certainly going to steal this idea.
