My wife bought a cheap bulletin board for church that had a cheap metal
frame.  I told her it would be no problem to make an attractive wood frame.
That was ignorance speaking.
 
There is nothing fancy.  I want a flat frame with 45 degree beveled corners.
I have a rabbit around the inside edge where the bulletin board will fit.  I
just tried to assemble the four pieces.  Every corner has problems.  I'm not
sure if they are open because I didn't have the boards snug when I fastened
them with a brad nailer.  Or, they may not have been exactly 45 degree
bevels cut in the wood.  Plus the surfaces on the front aren't completely
even with each other.  
 
I know part of my problem was trying to figure out how to hold the pieces in
the right place so I could nail them.  
 
Any tips or tricks for this kind of project?  Using a table saw, how do you
get the bevels right?
