Summary:A device for assembling pieces of picture frame molding to form a picture frame therefrom and particularly suited for relatively small "miniature" picture frames which are held together by gluing. The pieces of molding have glue applied to the end portions thereof and are thereafter held in assembled relation at the corners of the frame by respective corner blocks. The corner blocks are supported on a base member, with magnets being employed to permit adjusting the position of the corner blocks on the base member for accommodating pieces of molding of various lengths. Once the pieces of molding are positioned in assembled relation and clamped in place by the corner blocks, one or more elastic bands may be placed around the frame. The thus assembled frame may then be removed from the framing device and placed aside while the glue sets, freeing the framing device for assembling another frame.
