Abstract: A simple tool that joins mitred wood corners of a picture frame with a minimum effort by eliminating several moving parts that (because of these innovations) are no longer necessary. The use of a Neodymium magnet to direct the action of the v-nails into the wood makes the usual spring load obsolete. The second unique feature of the machine is a food pedal beveled in such a fashion as to bring down the required pressure pad without prior adjustment to suit the moulding height. These improvements provide the user with a tool that will always work as intended without the need for adjustments.

Abstract: A plurality of frame members adapted to be joined one to another in a picture frame configuration. End portions of the frame members have "T" shaped slots, with adjacent slots comprising a combined "H" shaped recess. There are matching "H" shaped connectors which fit into pairs of adjacent slots to form the picture frame. The relative dimensions of the connector and the recesses are arranged so that limited rotational movement between adjacent end portions of the frame members are permitted so as to accommodate irregularities or skewing in the frame members.
