Popular Post treeslayer Posted April 12, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I made this jig up to hold picture frames for finishing. really simple, a couple of slides with finish nails pounded in them, cut off the head end and sharpen them with a dremmel tool, slides are secured with a carriage bolt and wing nut. tighten one end down, squeeze the nails into the frame with hand pressure, squeeze the other end into the frame and tighten the wing nut. holds good for finishing and can be held with one hand to finish all parts then hung up somewhere out of the area to dry. made several of different lengths and can put 4 slides on one to do two frames at once. made them way back when wood frames were popular, they still are around my house anyway, picture frame is butternut if anyone was wondering. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they do Coop, I have a friend who is a tool and die maker make me those corner blocks out of aluminum, drill and thread them and I added the rods, they are similar to a plastic one I got years ago, great for anything from frames to boxes, drawers ect 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m making a 33” x 45” frame for an employee and am having to glueup one corner at a time using a spring clamp to hold it in place. Luckily I am joining the corners with Dominos but still have to pull the joint together while the glue dries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
