  • The corner clamps ...

    The corner clamps are all right (not great). The red paint marked on the wood a bit. Lining the jaws with cork or something might help that. They are certainly handy for situations like this. I only own two of them (should have bought 4)...so I haven't used them for mitered frames.

    I got those particular corner clamps from MLCS Woodworking.

  • Nice work. You ...

    Nice work. You should remove the ring at the table saw and when using the router. That looks so scarey, and I noticed you werent wearing your safety glasses at the router table. Nice work though.
