Don't know how to clamp miters joints? Let me show you the easiest way to clamp ANY angle in your woodworking! Best of all, you already have the supplies you need! In this video, we will show you step by step how to make these DIY clamping blocks for miter mitre joints and any in angle in between!
So we are in the process of building a really big project that has some super crazy angles (want to know what it is? Check us out on Instagram - {link below}). The problem, is that there is no way to clamp these pieces together.
We did a little online research and came across the Blokkz Universal Clamping Blocks...but I was not going to pay $125 when I could make them for myself!
Let us know down below in the comments how this project worked out for you!

I have to glue up some miters tomorrow and I have a ton of plywood/mdf offcuts lying about the workshop so this is perfect Eric!
Just discovered you. Glad I did! Im liking your simple, down-to-earth style of explaining. Great editing, too. Keep up the good work, we need people like you for people like us😂.
Super handy! I’m cheap and most of all don’t like waiting for stuff to arrive from an online order. Thanks for this!
Sure thing, Andre! Glad to hear you liked it!
Thanks for this. I’m making this tool for my first thing I am building. It’s a frame for some art I bought my wife. Thanks so much for this real tip.
Interesting. I’ve been scouring videos looking for a way to clamp up almost that exact same angle lol. Thanks!
Thanks from Sweden, this was really helpful
This is a much more useful technique. Thank you. Worked beautifully.
Using abrasive paper as a method to create good clamping purchase can be used in other applications. I also have abrasive adhered to my miter gauge surface as well as the clamping surfaces of my doweling jig to keep the material or jig from slipping when pressure is applied. Screw type clamps could be used to more securely fasten the jig to the material. Most people apply too much clamping pressure to close the joint. When if fact, cutting a clean and accurate joint is the real Achilles Heel. Applying too much pressure allows another dynamic, unwanted movement such as "lifting" of material. If everything is in alignment, extreme gluing clamping force is not necessary for a strong bond. You did a great job of explanation and layout about the need to apply pressure at a 90 degree angle to the center of the joint.
Thanks, Joe! You bring up a great point!
Great solution. Thanks for sharing. I am sure I am going to use the idea very soon.
Glad to hear you found it helpful! Thanks for checking out the video!
Throw away scraps?? Those 3 inches pieces are worth at least $30 right now 😂
You’re not wrong! I could buy a house with all those scraps 😜
That is awesome man nice work and great idea, i really need to try and make some of those, great video
Thanks Justin! They work for every angle we’ve tried so far!
1:06 You are a WILD MAN marking with that kinda pencil stick-out
Danger is my middle name....😜. In all seriousness, thank you so much for checking out my small channel! I truly appreciate all the support!
Hey Eric, this is awesome! I just got done making about 6 of these. I think I'm going to make myself a template to quickly make more when I need them. Thanks for the great idea! I saw the Blokkz ones that you mentioned. I think it's such a rip. I'm going to try making some by cutting pipe and welding it to flat stock.
That sounds like an awesome idea!
@@SpencleyDesignCo Try it out and let's see a video on it! LOL Your channel is one of my favs!
Thanks for the support! Id have to get a welder first
I'm liking every thing about your shop,very inspiring.
Thank you, Joe! It’s not much, but it works!
Ahh that's so good. Great idea.
Seriously, kudos to your inventiveness.
Very useful! Look forward to your next video!
Shhh...don’t spoil the surprise!
Brilliant! But now I will never throw away any scraps because will think of this video and say "oh it might come in handy (one day)"!
🤣 yeah we struggle with that one too Ken!
I love how you managed to name almost every way of cutting wood except the most obvious: A hand saw.
Hand tools are still cool man :P
Great video though, just what I needed for my current project.
What is a hand saw? 😜
Go Buckeyes! Also I like your stuff and you just solved a problem for me, so thanks! I can see someone is a fan of Four Eyes...
Go bucks! I’m glad I could help you out! Clamping angles can be tough but these have been working GREAT for me! Thanks so much for checking out my channel and showing some support 😀
Great video. Alas, I own no saws...but great geometry lesson! Seriously! I'm subscribed!
Thanks for your support!
metal or hardwood dogs on your worktable top? they should already be there. x
thank you for the great video and information. would they work with a 90 degree to a flat surface? Again Thank You.
Thank YOU for checking out my channel and the support!! Yes, they would work for that scenario too!
Just saved me alot of time, thanks for sharing.
Absolutely! Thank you for checking out the video. Glad you found it helpful!
About how long did you make these? Seem to be about 7 inches with maybe 1" to 1.5" thickness along the middle
wow, this is much simpler than other squaring jigs I've seen for difficult angles.
Thanks for the info, appreciate not having to hear too much maths!
Maths can be hard!
How long and wide are the clamps you built? Do they need to be a certain length for them to work properly?
Hi Luis! Thanks for checking out the video! The blocks are about 5 inches by 2.5 inches but there’s really no incorrect size to make them
Spencley Design Co. thank you for the info
how would you do this if it was 2 solid triangles you're trying to glue together? there's no parallel edges to clamp the miter blocks to
Radical, thanks my guy
Totally 👍
Hello.... what kind of protractor was that at the beginning used to mark your angle?
Hi, Brooklyn! Thank you for checking out the video! That protractor is made by Incra: amzn.to/36k5Ghh
Love the shirt! O-H
These is just what I would need... But I didn't quite get how to draw the line... for pressure directing guide, if you will. Marking the center, yeah got it, but where to from that, that is a mystery for me. Maybe it's the language barrier that makes this a bit hard to understand. Oh, but is the line supposed to be the same angle as one need to press?
Ideally the force would be applied perpendicular to the joint face, but it’s not always possible depending on the angle of the joint. You just try to get as close as possible
Where do you get that protractor and ruler with the holes in? Can't find them online at all.

@@SpencleyDesignCo Thank you very much. I'm gonna make sets at 5 degree intervals (one set with 5 & 10. Another with 15 & 20 etc, up to 45 degree.
That should work nicely! One suggestion I have is to use a higher end plywood like Baltic birch. That’s a lot stronger than cheaper stuff 😀
Great stuff!
Thanks, Xavier! Glad you enjoyed it. You gonna make some of these?
@@SpencleyDesignCo I'm thinking I've got a patio table project where these would really come in handy!
Awesome!! Make sure to let us know how they work! If you’ve got instagram, tag us @spencleydesignco!
I'll agree HF sandpaper is the worst. I was polishing something once and worked my way up to 600 with some 3m stuff and the next grit I chose was HF 1000 and it scratched the work all up, all paper was aluminum oxide. I was all ready at near mirror and it just fked it all up. With proper expectations and ignoring their grit claims it's not so bad, and I've had rather good results with the garnet paper there like you have in the video 24grit and 220. Hf is the only store near me that you can get paper other than Aluminum oxide and I've found that I'm certain situations it really pays off to have the proper abrasive. I have an embarrassingly large chest of sandpaper. 24 grit to 15000. I like Shiney things.
Thank you for sharing
So simple that it's BRILLIANT!
easy for YOU to say. I am more than mildly depressed.
@@bobabney538 Good luck with any alternative solution.
The harbor freight sandpaper is so awful !!! I feel validated and seen by your comment regarding it
Haha yeahhh it’s one of the worst out there. I actually had to update these clamping blocks with better sandpaper because it didn’t hold up. Harbor freight has decent stuff....just not sandpaper
I just started woodworking one month after covid quarantine and I can't even begin to tell you how many scraps I have.
🤣 I totally get that! I’m glad you’ve found something you enjoy and have been able to occupy your time! What’s your favorite project you’ve made so far?
@@SpencleyDesignCo Its been amazing wish I could have done this years ago, although I'm not sure how disciplined I would have been on safety so it's probably better I started at a later age so I have a better chance of keeping my fingers.
My favorite project has been my 8ft by 7 ft tall wall storage with drawers and cabinets. I used French cleats to hold it against wall since I live in earthquake prone Los Angeles. It is solidly built each shelf seems to hold a minimum of 100 lbs. Some easily hold 300 lbs. I will never buy cheaply constructed furniture again. My designs are getting better but what I have most enjoyed is everything I have made has been my own creativity while stealing methods on how to build my ideas.
PS: Turns out 1 inch pine can actually take a couple thousand pounds to 2 tons. Now most likely what will fail will be the pocket screws before I get to that point but now I know what my wall storage can take. I actually have a 100lbs on one shelf and it doesn't even look like it's holding anything. I'm so used to store bought furniture flexing just by setting 50lbs worth of stuff on it.
Very helpful
Thanks! I’m glad you found the video useful!
That clamping setup kind of looks like an M…Go Blue!! Nice…
I PERSONALLY find the lack of talent, more sophisticated saws & equipment, flat and straight boards, seems to be a real hindrance for the best outcome of projects. Does anyone disagree?
whats wrong with the sandpaper?
it's by far the worst sandpaper i've ever used
Certainly would work for wood work.
I mean, why knot? 😀
harbor freight is not paying me to speak the truth but I will offer to say there sand papper is pure crap. Oh & I am from the 90s that jig saw is late 80s. I am from the 80s as well. yeah not bad for a 30 + yr old jig saw nice retro
Their sandpaper is horrible 🤣
spring miter camps are much easier
Those work well for small parts, but don’t give a lot of pressure on large pieces
