Yeah, the guy that came up with it. Just what would it take to be "better"?

JOAT It's not hard, if you get your mind right.

If your miters are exact you can get by with masking tape in the corners. Biscuits would also help to add strength.

It's the same basic concept as a Clampmate

FYI, I made this jig in less than an hour out of 3/4 plywood and wingnuts. I drill pressed holes every inch up and down the slats so it can be adjustable for any size frame. It worked great for gluing a frame square and solid.
