Here, the mighty framer wields his clamps. (His wife thinks the tiny ones are cute.)
Speaking of the mighty framer, where is Dirk? He hasn't posted anything since January 26. Do you have him locked in a cage in the basement building frames?
We need proof of life. Post a picture of him holding today's newspaper or the Cookie Monster is going to pay you a visit.

OK, you dodged abullet.............cookie.
I glue and v-nail the sides and bottom rail, but just put screws in from the top, colored to match. It's easy to open and the top is normally not visible. I use the screw eyes that I posted in the other thread if the frame isn't too big. Heavier items like stained glass usually work with a (decorative) chain to the top corners.
And back to clamps ... what is your preferred choice in parallel clamps? It's high time, around here, to ditch the pipe clamps and join the twenty-first century.
everytime i peruse the rockler catalog (which is more frequently than i'd like to admit) i run across this and start humming the theme song from beverly hillbillies...My favorite part about when he clamps frames is calling him Jed.
