I screwed a 2" x 2" x 24" piece of hardwood to the back of my
workbench...against the wall. Perpendicular to that, I screwed another to
the bench. This forms a right angle, on the right side. I then mounted two
toggle clamps on the left side. Fit the hive body sides together, and place
them against the jig. Engage the toggles. The box is square. I use two
quick clamps on the top edge of the hive body, when the boards are cupped.
You can use the same set-up for all sized boxes, and covers, too.
Mike
