You would be smart to stick with Craftsman tools, Live Time warrantee on their standard tools, wrenches, screw drivers, ect. It breaks bring it back replaced for free, no questions asked.

I was considering using L brackets as well but im concerned what the age of the wood is, how dry is the wood and how thin it is, it would be a real shame to crack it using a screw.

This is actually a really simple fix. All you will need is some Wood Glue and a Corner Clamp. With the wood glue make sure you dont use Gorilla glue, its good and strong but what happens is it foams up when it dries and becomes messy. Get a simple wood glue like the Elmers, its like a light brown. This glue is best for laminating wood which essentially you will be doing.

First apply ample glue to both faces to be attached and with a brush or your finger smooth it out all over the surface make sure to cover everything.

Wait about 5 min or so to become a bit tacky and then attach the two pieces together.

Apply the corner vice really tight with the frame face towards you. The glue will squeeze out so once you have clamped the whole thing use a damp towel (warm water works best and damp not wet you dont want to wash away any in the crack, this is also why you want to use Elmers cause its water soluble while it is still wet) and wipe away the excess glue on the face.

Wait no less than 24 hours. 6 hours the glue will cure but to ensure a perfectly tight bond wait 24 hours before removing the clamp.

Hope it works out for you
