What happens here

Determine the precise dimensions for each face frame, taking into account the dimensions of the cabinet openings. Cut 1x2 poplar lumber to the required lengths for the stiles (vertical pieces) and rails (horizontal pieces) using a miter saw. Create pocket holes on the ends of the rails. Apply wood glue to the joints. Assemble the face frame components, securing them with pocket screws. Use a speed square and clamps to ensure each assembled frame is perfectly square before the glue sets.

Goal: Measure, cut, and assemble face frames from 1x2 poplar using pocket hole joinery and wood glue, ensuring each frame is perfectly square.

these two together it's finally face frame time i'm using 1x2 this is poplar it's a little bit more dense than the select binding you'll see we're going to start cutting things up and then we're gonna attach all the pieces together with pocket screws and wood glue and then attach that sucker to those cabinet carcasses so we got our glue here we have our clamp that's gonna just push these two joints flush together and most importantly the square so we're gonna make sure nothing is out of whack here [Music] first face frame is done measure corner to corner it should be the exact same number this is a perfect setup
