Great idea, Thanks for this very useful post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Rog, I revised yours to eliminate the clamp when there is a panel involved. Thanks again for your idea.Frame Jig.jpg Ken, now that you've had this jig going for a while, how is it working for you? I'm going to be framing all of my military commendations and am thinking about building this clamping jig (although with the center clamp.

Coop Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I've only used it twice but both times it worked great. It allows you room to adjust the miters, use a square on them and check the diagonal measurements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon_t Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Are the corners at a 90 or slightly acute? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon_t Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Any reason 3/4" ply wouldn't work for the arms part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strasberry Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Amazing jig! love this whole concept! Will be making one of these for my shop very soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Brendon, I've seen those clamps made from ply before. Seems to work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SawDustB Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 If you don't feel like making one, I've used this store bought version successfully on a few frames.http://www.rockler.com/frame-clamp-kit Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks sawdust. That's pretty cheap. I feel like places like rockler and woodcraft have to always price things that we CAN make ourselves, low enough that is not worth the trouble.

Woodenskye Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Brendon, you are right with that statement. Infinity tools sells even cheaper than Woodcraft. http://www.infinitytools.com/Adjustable-Four-Corner-Frame-Clamp/productinfo/100%2D170/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
