I don't know if you have your heart set on the mitered corners but you could always treat it like a cabinet face frame with stiles and rails and then you would be able to use your Kreg Jig. While i recommend using the Kreg Jig first i have yet to find a work around in that area, My remedy when the trim pieces are small is a product called 2P-10 it is a two part glue system. It is expensive but has been worth every penny. ONe part is a Gel and you apply it to one piece then the other is an activator apply it too the other adjoining piece and it bonds almost instantly. I only recommend this if the frame is smaller and does not carry much weight. The glue works great!
feels like there is an emerging product demand for a "thin-stock" kreg jig that uses smaller/shorter screws and will work using a smaller bit on thin stock.
couldn't be THAT hard to design - scale down the existing product?

We recently announced our all new Micro Pocket Drill Guide for just this purpose!
With a 25% smaller hole diameter, the Micro Pocket™ Drill Guide lets you create more compact, low-profile Pocket-Holes in the same joinery applications, but also tackle smaller projects, thinner stock, and tighter repair applications, where standard Pocket-Holes simply can’t go. Designed for use with the Kreg Jig® or Kreg Jig® Master System. Kit includes the Micro Pocket™ Drill Guide, Micro Pocket™ Drill Bit, Micro Pocket™ Depth Collar and Starter Screw Set.

You are God Sent, thank you so much for your help. This will help me immensly. I loved the info on the micro tool, I had been looking and knew there was something out there like it that would work for frames, but hadn't seen it. I will do some hunting now. I think Lowe's had it last I was there, I will look in more detail this time around.
I am finding as an artist that I need to make my own frames. I do diamond tip mirror etchings. I am starting to add some thin wood inlay over top and the mirror behind for a 3-d effect and some dimension. In order to do that I need a big strong frame and a deep rabbit that can accomidate mirror and wood depth. So making my own seems the easiest way to do this. My Kregg Jig came to mind immediately.
I really appreciate this. It should help me a ton.
Attached is an etching that I did of a fawn that I plan to frame with my Kregg Jig's help this week.
There is a newer Kreg jig called the "Micro Pocket Drill Guide" for use in small applications like maybe your frame.
Below is a link to information about it at the Kreg's homesite...

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
