Cheap and Easy Miter Clamps

Woodworking is one of my hobbies....and it's kind of expensive (i'm sure you would agree) ..So i'm always on a budget...
I make my own canvas frames...so obviously i need miter clamps ...and lots of it...here is what i came up with.
Btw...i'v entered this in the woodworking contest...so if you like it and find it useful please rate it and vote for me
thanks.

Step 1: Things you need

Square dowels...scraps will do
scrap 1/8" mdf ...square...rectangle...doesn't matter
plastic sheet...this too could be scrap...you get it from toy boxes or gift boxes
wood glue
a square ruler.

Good Idea, I had some spruce coasters I was making but had not finished so I've used them for the bases. I'll post a photo when I've finished them.

Nicely done! Such a simple solution. Currently working on a shadow box and was trying to make something similar but was stumped. Making some of these corners right away! Thanks for posting.
