Maintaining square when gluing up

An easy trick I use to maintain squareness when I am gluing things up is to clamp a speed speed square into one of the inside corners using some C-clamps. If you can keep one corner square, they'll all be square. And having the clamp set in place makes it easy to make adjustments while making sure that squareness is maintained.
