think of things like this no built-in shelves or cabinet for that matter is complete without a face frame typically the face frame is what makes a whole cabinet go from looking like a box to an actual piece of furniture but in our situation we will be asking even more from our face frames our face frames will be the key players to making sure this shelving unit swings safely and securely that is why I went with a solid wood like of 1 by 4 select fine I made sure the side pieces the Stiles as they are called come out long enough at the bottom to conceal our 2 inch casters as well as tall enough at top to make small adjustments in case something is out of square I secured all the rails or the horizontal side pieces of dual to the Stiles using the with glue and pocket screws so what's really great about this little Craig mini jig as you can see crates these per size pocket holes that are gonna be meant to attach the face frame to his cabinet is for the most part I've always used my Craig Foreman right they're very expensive worth every penny for creating these repetitive pocket holes in cabinet making but in this position I skip the step and I forgot to create my pocket holes for the face room so now I have to go and create those pocket holes now car obviously I can't bring this to that Foreman it's just too heavy it's too big so I picked this up 19 bucks guys 19 20 dollars at your local hardware store will get the job done it is by far one of the best tools I've had in the shop and that's probably how I got my start building so highly recommend go get yourself the Craig pocket hole jig once
