Can a Face Frame by Sexy? (w/pics)

Hello everyone,

I have been working on two vanities for our house.

Here are two sheets of prefinished 3/4" maple ply cut into parts,

Assembling one of the vanity carcasses, I am using a scrap of MDF cut to
width to ensure the middle part is aligned correctly,

Both carcasses assembled and some rough cherry waiting to be dressed,

My setup for running the beading on the face frame stock,

The faceframe material with bead(s). I also ran all the rail and stile
material,

One of the face frames built and laying out for the second one,

My jig for notching out the bead on the face frame,

I ground off the bearing post from a 45º champher bit.

I used my SCMS for the crossgrain cuts and raised my TS blade though for the
"rip" cut. I finished off the straight cuts with a jig saw and cleaned up
the circle with the OSS,

Here is the end panel for one of the vanities,

When my wife was looking at the face frames, she looked at me kinda weird
when I called the finished face frames "sexy". I throw it out to my peers to
see if such a thing is possible.

NB: Make sure you have safe search turned on if you search for "sexy
vanity"... DAMHIKT!

The drawer fronts and doors will be inset. I hope to make them this weekend.

Thanks for looking,

David.
