Cabinet Door / Picture Frame Clamping Jig

Very interesting. I’m going to have to steal this idea from you.

Thanks for posting!

Great idea to purloin.
Looks so simple it is amazing no one has marketed it yet,

That is a nice idea. This is certainly a jig that would be worth copying.

Man I wish I had that. Would have made my job easy putting those mitered doors together the past couple of weeks. I’m going to make one. How long are the pieces?

Hey Cabinetmaster,

The length of the legs are just over 24” which gives over 40” of reach. I spaced the holes on 3” centers, in retrospect 2” centers might have been a better number. The connecting bars are about 5” wide, just make sure that there is enough room to clear if you use something like a hand screw type clamp.

Good luck, they do work well.

Thanks for the info. I will make me a set this weekend.

Nice jig! I’m also building kitchen cabinets. Check out my home page and that’s where I am now. I will be needing a jig for my doors too. I’m using cherry. Thanks for your dimensions. That will make it a snap for me to replicate.

Hey parkerdude…..
I’ve got a few of these…. Made them years ago… They work really well.
But will only work with a nip of the calmp otherwise it bends off. So I just added a crosspiece over the 90* so the frame fits in… No more bend out.
The plans originally came from an old Deltagram project… 1940 +
