Picture Frame Clamp

I made a box clamp over the weekend out of a ratched strap. There are some good tutorials on youtube. I could detail it here, but they did such a good job. Miter joints seem easy but get a perfect 45 cut is hard.

Actually, the issue isn't that your cut isn't 45º, its that each piece is a freckle different in length, and width. If you've got a perfect box, getting all four legs of the box absolutely perfect in length is very difficult. That's where clamps and glue come into play. Force + ignorance = results.
