I have been making some picture frames and as I hadnt made any for a while I had forgotten what a pain clamping them is. For the first one which had quite a thick frame I used a web clamp, they are a bit of a pain but it worked. The second one has much thinner edges and I knew the web clamp would be really tought to use.
I noticed this from lee valley but wanted to glue up the frame today so made one. It was pretty simple and cost about $15 in parts. I bought 4 x 36" rods and 2 x 24" ones so can use it up to 60" x 24"

As the rods are > $2 each I can always get other lengths in the future.
Building these frames did bring to mind one project that I really need to get done - an assembly table. Not having a perfectly flat surface is really noticeable when trying to glue up frames.
