I am learning lots, like that corner clamps wpuld have been a great investment. My latest struggle is with creating flush edges for my picture frame. With the fasteners I bought at first, they were not giving me enough tension on the joints, and it was a struggle to maintain flush edges and get the glue to stick.
I opted for 90 degree brackets to get more tension on the joint itself, but it still was not perfect. For future frames, I will be investing in corner clamps because that edge connection is so important.
I found myself getting pretty frustrated at this stage of the process. My joints were not well connected and I felt hindered by my lack of equipment and workshop. I had to use tape to get the best wood to glue connection I could and maintain flush joints. It was ugly.
