Great stuff. One thing I like so much about these woodworking videos is that they're timeless. I'm watching this 4 years after it was posted and the information and tips are just as true and accurate, and useful, as they were when it was made. And that'll be the case 4 years from today.

Well, as usual, Colin, you showed me two things (clamps, in this case) that I just went downstairs and made. I’m making a box for a friend and need some way of getting a good clamp on all four corners. I do have one of those wrap-around straps with plastic corners, but it doesn’t do a great job by itself. I added in some of my new corner clamps and BAM! A great set of miter joints! Thanks, Colin.

OMG🤯 I’ve been overthinking this!! Thank you 🙏. I have a strap especially for frames but I have more scrap wood and extra tie downs straps than I do money😂 so I’m definitely trying this out. I usually have a few frames I need to do at once but have to clamp them a couple of hours in between. Huge time saver man!!

I’ve been doing renovations and tinkering for over 30 years but only recently started to get into finer woodworking (started with a really crappy ash tray hahaha) and every time I watch one of your videos I find myself in my garage/shop making something that puts your techniques to use. You end your videos with “thanks for watching” - I end them with “thanks for the help”!

Just have to say thank you very much for showing those miter corner clamps made from a small block of wood to clamp and glue together corners. I made several of them to glue various corner joints for drawers I'm making for family dressers and vanity tables. These simple wood clamps have made it so much easier to glue-up tight and consistent and accurate corners every time. Thank you again for posting your tips and hacks for the rest of to see and use on our own woodworking projects.!!

Love the tips - some I haven't seen before. One that you might want to try (related to clamping) is that when edge-joining boards, they tend to slide around a lot as you tighten the clamps. Literally a few grains of salt (not sugar as it's not sharp enough) added to the glue before joining eliminates this & does not impact the strength of the joint.

Great tips on clamping mitered corners, also the clamping squares when more hands are needed...these will come in handy, especially when using pocket screws and you don't want the mating piece to shift when driving the screws. Simple and effective.

@tgmforum tgmforum Bring in the belt, that would force the miter .

@southropify 3 жыл бұрын

@tgmforum Don't think that's true. Let's number each side of the corner elements starting top left going clockwise: 1,2 then 3,4 for top right, 5,6 for bottom right and 7,8 for bottom left. As far as I can see the pressure applied to 1 drives the top bar to the right, seating it into corner point 3. Pressure applied to 3 drives the right bar down towards us into corner point 5, and so on. The forces cascade around the frame in both directions ultimately pushing the miter joints tight, even though the forces at each corner do not appear to force the joint on that particular corner, they do on the neighboring corners. The 1 inch gap you propose would close when you tightened the strap. Make sense?
