Overheard a guy at the lumberyard talking about his glue-up jig
He was picking up some maple in Portland and mentioned he built a simple jig with a 2x4 and four toggle clamps to hold cabinet face frames square. Said it cut his glue-up time in half because he could do two at once. I'm always fighting to keep things from shifting while the glue sets. Has anyone else tried a setup like that for face frames?

Wouldn't that jig only work if all your frames are exactly the same size?

Oh man, yeah that's totally fair lol. That jig is basically built for one specific frame size, so if you switch it up even a little you're back to square one. You'd have to rebuild the whole thing or add some weird adjustable setup. Not exactly a one-size-fits-all solution if you ask me. Fine for a production run of identical frames though.
