Thanks, I appreciate that. I really should share more of these little experiments that are the gray area between success and failure, because I love to watch videos like that when other people make them.
Sir, I wish I could shake your hand. I have been searching for a easy to make clamp for picture frames. I watched your video and them made a couple of them last night and tried them out. They work great!! Thank you!!
That's a terrific idea for sure & with a little modification would work great. I will be tinkering with this for sure. Good job, very clever..........Steve
THIS is the correct way to make the clamps, but I suggest one change. On the 'arms' that hang out over the frame...cut a 45 on the end so that you can use a clamp to span the joint and put the clamp pads on the ends of the arms sticking out. The idea is to clamp directly across the miter. a clamp across the miter, and you have the PERFECT miter clamp. You, are genius! I will make a set of these, but use clamps to pull the miter together!
Sure. Look close, I kind of did that with the chamfer machine. I wouldn't leave it as a sharp point, because glue squeeze-out would stick to the clamp.
This looks awesome. Not complicated to build either. I find the vise style picture clamps to be near useless. These clamps can be constructed totally of scrap wood already in the shop. I rather like this idea just the way that I see it in the video. Well done my friend. I am a beginner at making picture frames and these would be a great addition to my shop.
Sir, that is really a good idea, if could offer a bit of advice, from a Mech Eng...I think a little more bearing surface on the locating square would work perfect.😀
I just got the same idea! while searching for a simple but more functional way for clamping frames got the exact same rubber ban idea but a bit different then yours though and thought who would use a rubber band as a clamp? apparently someone did!
Wow, this video came up in my Suggested Videos. You've gotten a lot better at using presence when speaking since making this video, Pocket! Here you sound a bit monotone and shy, but in your latest videos, your voice is a lot more vibrant and pleasant to listen to.
Thank you all for your comments and support. That really makes it worth it to me to make all of these videos. If it helps you, even a little- then I have succeeded!
what if the small bit of the L-shape was cut at a 45% angle to hug the frame... then the long bit don't need to swivel, it could be fixed and be longer... then the frame sizes could become even bigger? ...still used with the elastic... I'm gonna try it :)
Pocket, You may be interested to know that someone else has a similar design. Judging by the upload dates, yours is clearly first. I don't speak Russian well enough to know if he gives you credit, or if he came up with the idea independently. This may be a case of great minds think alike, or not. ua-cam.com/video/Wlrx1QLUAs4/v-deo.html
+Learner-Learns First, I would like to (again) thank you for your constructive and insightful comments. They are among the most gracious that I receive. Further, you belong to the very small collection of people whose comments I pay attention to with careful consideration. That said, I've noticed that you seem to suggest me to be more guarding of my idea property. The following is the recipe to my rationale; having "my" ideas copied feels this way: One part flattered, one part validated, one part satisfied, one part betrayed, one part confused, and two parts relieved. I suppose that what I release I expect to be used, and an informal acknowledgement is all that I would need to feel accredited. But I see that most people don't share the same values, and I just don't want to waste my time idea chasing. I've seen around a dozen or so of the things I've released overtly duplicated now, sometimes even by fellow English-speaking UA-camrs (and without attribution), but I remind myself that there is nothing new under the sun, and that any small idea I've had the privilege to birth is only homage to the great thinkers of the past who have enabled me with the tools that I now have. Please don't read this as vanity; I am maybe simply a naïve idealist, but I just feel it in my bones that I have no right to withhold procedure. Idea guarding could become a burden to me, and in the spirit of science, self-interest ought be secondary to our furtherance. Somebody's got to do it. Let them have wealth if they want it, but I am content to tinker ;)
Смотрю работы американских мастеров и всегда восхищаюсь их талантами.
Experimentation is good. I've made close to 30 small boats now. At least a half a dozen I was glad to see gone.
Great Idea !!!!! 👍
Thanks for the enthusiasm. I love that you love it!

Great idea, I will make it right now as I usually make small sized frame it will be very easy & usefull. Many thanks for sharing.

Your picture frame clamp idea is very nice idea,and the corner cutting jig is very nice too.I want to make it.

Thanks! I urge everyone to make a chamfering device.
I love that thing.
Great idea!
Brilliant! I hope you don't mind that I will be making my own set. Thanks for sharing.
What a great idea, I love this smart gadget! Awesome video!

Very nice! Thank you for sharing!
Love it , it's small and easy to use , good idea
Great idea!!!
Thanks for sharing

Very good idea. The thing to develop is to get rid of the band aids and have a stronger clamp action between the arms.
very cool idea!
That's why it's here! Try it out, and let us know if you come up with any improvements.
It's not at all a bad idea, I like it.
You should try replace the rubber bands with a turnbuckle for more clamping strength.
Pretty cool idea.
That was very good
Gracias !!!!!!!!
Saludos Cordiales !!!!!
Very clever, new sub!
great idea
Cool idea! Cheers
I like it nice work
its a really good idea
Great idea , very simpel
I'll add one, thanks for making the point. For now, just search my channel. That (series) is one of my earlier vids.
genius!
Nice one √√
Pretty neat
THANKS A LOT FOR THIS GREAT AND FANTASTIC IDEA ... I NEVER SAW BEFORE .......KIND REGARDS FROM MEXICO
I think some Thera-Band instead of the rubber bands might work better.
Nice inexpensive idea.
I Like it, in this case you need a twin head tensioner bolt to replace the elastic rubbers. After a fast searching i found some type of these.
Do "twin head tensioner bolts" come in packs of 100 for a buck?
+pocket83 maybe.... if you have them already laying around and throw four quarters into a soda machine ;) haha
I love it, thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very cool. but I will go shop, since I do not have the ninja tools.loool
Thank you all for your comments and support. That really makes it worth it to me to make all of these videos. If it helps you, even a little- then I have succeeded!
Nice. Do you have a link to the DIY chamfering jig?
what if the small bit of the L-shape was cut at a 45% angle to hug the frame... then the long bit don't need to swivel, it could be fixed and be longer... then the frame sizes could become even bigger? ...still used with the elastic... I'm gonna try it :)
Hey, don't be so negative, I think it's a really neat idea.
Would clipping the tip from the curved piece allow for use with slightly imperfect corners?
try using a clamp instead of rubber bands.. it might work pretty well that way
I think clamps will give too much pressure, better the rubber.
muy buena y de bajo costo.
chigón !!!
G E N I A L ! ! !
how do you make that chamfer sand?
Can you make me a set and send to me?
Wait, what is this used for?!
It's used to clamp together two pieces that are mitred to produce a 90 degree angle, such as in a picture frame, until the glue dries.
