What happens here

This step details the construction of the cabinet door and face frame components. Small pieces of wood are cut with a miter saw to form the frame. A Festool Domino joiner is then used to create precise mortise and tenon joints, which are glued together for exceptional strength. This method ensures tight-fitting and durable frames for cabinet doors or aesthetic face frames.

Goal: Construct strong and accurately joined face frames and door frames.
