I had to sift through SO MANY videos about miter joints to find this...and THIS was all I needed. I'm doing something simple so I don't need biscuits or any fancy joinery, but damn, that's all youtube was showing me. Glad I found this. I love how many ways there are to do woodworking but sometimes the more popular channels show techniques that are not applicable to the average woodworker.
Thank you so much David! I’m working on a small $10 project that need to join two corners. I saw they sell a tool to use as corner clamps at Home Depot for $50 ouch! Now this vdo save me.
This is also a handy trick when doing small baseboard trim work. We recently finished a bathroom remodel, and there was an outside corner between a closet door and the tub bull-nose tile. Baseboard mated to the bullnose with a 30-degree angle, and the right-angle corner was a 45-degree angle on the mating pieces...So glue-up was going to be a pain. I held the pieces where I wanted them while my wife slapped a piece of blue painter's tape across them...Then you just unfold the pieces, apply glue, fold back together, and wrap another piece of tape around the whole mess. I let it sit like that overnight, and it fit perfectly when un-taped and cleaned up. Worked like a charm.
I have used this for years and thousands of times. It is the best for any angle.But use a square to check the angle after you have tape clamped. I use white painters tape instead of blue. Also look for tape that thicker than most.
It might have been worth while to use a small square to measure the angle, just to make sure the joint was kept at 90 degrees, while installing the last two pieces of tape, holding the parts together. Just my two cents,,,
Put the tape lengthwise with the joint. Don't need the three across it until the final tape - blue tape is pretty strong. Also - Before applying the glue, put tape on the inside so that when you connect the joint the glue squeezes out onto it, instead of the wood If you make small keepsake boxes, you need to learn this - it is pretty common practice. Nothing worse than scraping dried glue from the inside corners of a well milled box. As he says, "Duh!"

Good ideas. What do you think of using the Painter tape on the inside of the miter joint so that the glue squeeze out can be quickly removed
Simply great provided you can get cheap tape (South Africa)! Thanks

live and learn 👍🏻👍🏻
When do we get to see the results of the outside joint? Part 2?
It's glued mdf. What's to see?
We want to see how amazing the tape trick worked. Proof is in the pudding, lets see it.
@@ozzstars_cars Mate trust me. When I was in the trade many years ago this was the only way we glued up mitre joints. Its work perfectly.
Maybe corner clamps?
Try to make it with Stodoys plans :)
