How To Make A Right Angle Clamping Jig | Woodworking How-To

How To Make A Right Angle Clamping Jig | Woodworking How-To

While making my assembly table I was quickly reminded that when joining 2 large panels at a 90 degree angle, It’s a pain in the butt! To make this an easier task for future projects, I knocked out a few of these right angle clamping jigs. Using scrap 3/4″ plywood/MDF, I was able to batch out 8 of the jigs in under an hour.

The jigs are 12″ x 12″ x 3/4″

    Works great as long as your crosscut sled is perfectly dialed in, preferably with the 5 cut method.

    I hate MDF.



  3. Dave WV on March 22, 2023 at 7:12 am

    Excellent! Very well described. Thanks



  4. J Sol on March 22, 2023 at 7:13 am

    Hi, good video. Where did you get the blue marking gauge that you’re using at 2:34?



  5. Lost Sailor on March 22, 2023 at 7:16 am

    Great idea. It sure beats paying $85 for Woodpeckers. I’ll make some to aid with cabinet construction. Thanks



  6. Barry Parks on March 22, 2023 at 7:17 am

    Great idea, many thanks



  7. Indal Singh on March 22, 2023 at 7:18 am

    Thanks Sean . Simple, effective and practical. Will try a few of these. Thanks for sharing.



  8. Tom T on March 22, 2023 at 7:18 am

    Saw these in a magazine a bunch of years ago. I made several of them and still use them regularly! A very handy piece of kit!



  9. robert adams on March 22, 2023 at 7:19 am

    Real good idea. Simple. Easy to make. And it saved me $45…Thanks

    I was brought up on woodworking jigs and have many variations of jigs for corners. You can make jigs that you fit on the outside and then use the inside so as to get the two jointing bits of wood flush.



  11. michele vitarelli on March 22, 2023 at 7:19 am

    Great project and video. Thanks for sharing.

  13. Lenny Talbot on March 22, 2023 at 7:25 am

    clear and very useful. Thanks



  14. James Brown on March 22, 2023 at 7:26 am

    Just started in woodworking and think this was a clear effective demonstration video. I’d like to make these but have no table saw or band saw. can this be done with a circular saw or chop saw? … which i do have. I’ve made 4 ft and 2ft jigs for the circular saw but not sure if they will be accurate enough. Subscribed.



  15. gsuderman on March 22, 2023 at 7:27 am

    Excellent video! Pace, camera work and your narration all spot on. Very informative.



  16. George Qualls on March 22, 2023 at 7:27 am

    Never thought about cutting the diagonal the way you did. Learned something new.



  17. roy hoco on March 22, 2023 at 7:28 am

    good idea but I wonder why you did not stack the boards to be cut on the band and table saw. it saves a lot of time versus cutting indivivually



  18. Zak Boilen on March 22, 2023 at 7:28 am

    That is awesome, thank you.



  19. Marco SG on March 22, 2023 at 7:29 am

    Great Idea, It’s time to make them.



  20. Paul De Jesus on March 22, 2023 at 7:29 am

    where did you get the slot for your stop block



  21. J. Schacher on March 22, 2023 at 7:33 am

    Saw those same jigs in a woodworking magazine about 10 years ago. Made some right away. They’re great!



  22. Benjamin Perkins on March 22, 2023 at 7:34 am

    Walking down to the shop to make 4 of these right now, have the perfect piece of wood in mind… Excellent tool to have and excellent tutorial video as well…really great! Thank you.



  23. John Ayres on March 22, 2023 at 7:34 am

    The ruler at 2.11 where you can set a distance from an edge, what are they called? I thought it was a scribing ruler but I cannot find one on Amazon like that.



  24. Robert Brunston on March 22, 2023 at 7:35 am

    Very good! Thanks



  25. rogerthat on March 22, 2023 at 7:35 am

    No band saw here. I will need to use a hand saw to cut those notches.



  26. Charles Elkins on March 22, 2023 at 7:39 am

    Nice design for a simple tool. I will copy them. Thanks.



  27. Alexander Else on March 22, 2023 at 7:39 am

    I made these today. Just what i needed. Thanks!



  28. gizanked on March 22, 2023 at 7:40 am

    Oscar at fast cap must be a fan.



  29. trolltaker on March 22, 2023 at 7:44 am

    And the best thing is that you don’t have to give Rockler $10 apiece for an over-engineer piece of plastic. I’ve always wondered why people would buy those, when the people that would buy them already have a shop, and presumably know how to make things themselves. To me, they’ve always been Rockler’s version of the Pet Rock.



  30. Emmanuel Lopez on March 22, 2023 at 7:44 am

    Nice vid bro!!!



  31. ElRei on March 22, 2023 at 7:45 am

    Nice. Real nice.



  32. Hernán Méndez on March 22, 2023 at 7:47 am

    Fantastic. Simple and effective.



  33. Ben B on March 22, 2023 at 7:47 am

    Going to have to make some thanks



  34. Mark Peacock on March 22, 2023 at 7:47 am

    Simple brilliant & just what I need BIG thanks from uk 🇬🇧👌🏼



  35. Louis Cypher on March 22, 2023 at 7:48 am

    Now if only I can find a tutorial on left angled jigs.



  36. John Ward on March 22, 2023 at 7:50 am

    Made a few with your dimensions and they are perfect. Thanks.



  37. BIG G on March 22, 2023 at 7:51 am

    Thank you



  38. Derek Rowlands on March 22, 2023 at 7:51 am

    Very useful, why didn’t I think of that.



  39. Daniel Richards on March 22, 2023 at 7:52 am

    Constructed 4 and they worked perfect. I was struggling to make the frame to my corn hole boards perfectly square as I was designing them to fit into one another. Thanks for the idea……



  40. lady kenja on March 22, 2023 at 7:52 am

    Very useful project. GREAT IDEA ! ! !



  41. Lee Fuller on March 22, 2023 at 7:54 am

    Well done. I purposely searched this morning for corner clamping aids. I saw this and now I am happy. These are exactly what I needed. I am going to be building a Kitchen Peninsula with plywood. Yes holding things square can be a challenge. More so when you do not have anyone helping you. The hole can be utilized to hang these on the shop wall, another great feature.



  42. Donald Wiley on March 22, 2023 at 7:54 am



  43. NW on March 22, 2023 at 7:58 am

    I need to make some of these for my shop.



  44. Bill Irey on March 22, 2023 at 8:02 am

    Very nice write up and photos on your web site. Thank you, well done.



  45. Bobbie Sue Sanders on March 22, 2023 at 8:04 am

    Thanks for showing us cheap way to make corner guides. 👍👍👍👍👍



  46. Gustavo Pereira on March 22, 2023 at 8:05 am

    Good and simple model.



  47. Lordpanda 2112òőuj[lol?ľ777 on March 22, 2023 at 8:06 am

    Really great stuff!



  48. K Mitchell on March 22, 2023 at 8:06 am

    Just watched your vid. Great information and recommendation. I was debating the same Rockler alternative. So, instead of investing in the Rockler positioners, I am going to finally build a crosscut sled for my table saw. The other nice thing about building your own, is that you can create varying sizes for different projects. Went ahead and did a Like and a Subscribe.



  49. Sirhan Reid on March 22, 2023 at 8:06 am

    Was about to purchase the red plastic L shaped ones, glad I saw this video first!!



  50. James McGowan on March 22, 2023 at 8:07 am

    Thats really nice thanks
