Clamping Together Picture Frames

[Scrappile]

One of the things I have struggled with is making frames for my scroll pictures.  I struggle for a easy, CHEAP method to clamp the frames while gluing them together.  I think I have finally found a shop made clamp, that is easy to make, only costs some scrap wood and a little time.  Here is a short video that I found on Youtube that shows the clamp.  I made a couple of them last night after watching this video and darn they seem to work great.  I'd like to shake this guys had for thinking this up!

Actually, I kinda dig the round-over jig he has for his belt sander. I try to eye-ball my round-overs, and they never turn out right.

I noticed the jig too, but why not use a router for a round over?

That was my thought, but still a great little jig if a router is not available and a little safer to use than a router.

I bet its a lot quicker, especially if you're doing a whole bunch of small pieces.

I  like this picture frame clamp http://www.amazon.com/Rockler-Quick-Release-Corner-Framing-Clamp/dp/B001DT5LH4/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1417517760&sr=8-6&keywords=picture+framing+clamp.  They're available under lots of brand names. I've made big frames by buying more sections of 1/4-20 rod at Home Depot.
