Face Frames

Hardly any reason at all. A few biscuits or dowels might make it easier
to align, though. I must be one of the "0" people, as I don't
understand binary. Tom

lol!

Thanx for the confirmation Tom. Alignment won't be a problem so I'll stay
with just the glue.

Thanx a 11110100001001000000,

Agreed, Doug. I spent my early years in the aerospace industry. Got a good
first hand look at how something could be overengineered to death. As I get
older, I seek the best bang for my energy buck. I *could* put a counter sunk
screw every 6 inches of the face frame. I'm sure it would hold fine 0 but I
can't envision ANY circumstance when I might need such strength.

Just finished putting on the face frame - looks good and I'm sure it ill
hold fine.

That's what I did when I made my kitchen cabinets. Of course, I did a test
piece first: glued a piece of scrap cherry to the edge of a scrap of panel
(basic melamine PCB from the Borg), let it cure 24 hrs, then bashed it with a
hammer. The wood failed, not the glue joint.
