I'm not sure what to call it, but I want to brad nail 3 pieces of plywood together to form a corner (walls and bottom) to clamp things to to keep straight when drill pressing. Super simple stuff, but want to minimize error and make it as straight and square as possible. Are there any tips to ensure squareness when putting the pieces together?

I assume you're going to use support blocks to fasten the fence to the base?

#

#

just make sure those are square like this

#

replace the try square with your corner blocks

All that I could think of was vice gripping a piece vertical then lining up the edges and using a brad nailer to secure the two pieces together

how would I use support blocks? just square offcuts to push up against?
