Clamping Aid for Odd Angles

I

T IS FRUSTRATING TOclamp together two boards precisely at an
odd-angled corner. This jig, which can be made quickly from scrap
lumber, will help. Cut a generous scrap of hardwood to the appropri-
ate corner angle, and drill holes through the scrap, as shown above, to
accommodate the head of a clamp. Use two clamps for each jig piece,
one on each of the two boards forming the corner. Make sure the
inside corner of the joint is firm against the jig. One jig should suffice
for joining narrow boards. Wider pieces will need two jigs, one on
each edge, as shown.
