I also have some of those Rockler plastic squares - but of course never gave them a thought - no wonder they have so much saw dust on them.... *sigh* Tom – leave it to me to do it the hard way.

I was just wondering - do you think that a slot could be put on the inside of the jig - running diagonally from the junction of the two strips where you are gluing the project - to hold a T-bolt - which in turn would hold a perfectly square block - this could be made to any size needed - to brace again the inside of the project to help with the holding process while the glue dries? May not be needed but it would hold the project more secure to the plywood strips. Great jig – Tom – as stated – the simpler the better.

The simpler the better for me. Ironically I have a project coming up shortly that I needed something to square corners with. This will do perfectly, thanks! sweet jig, Tom.
