My Wife Wanted Fluted Wood Panels, I don't have a CNC.

What happens here

Cut 1x2 oak lumber into the appropriate lengths for the face frames, which will define the drawer openings. Drill pocket holes suitable for hardwood into the frame pieces. Assemble the frames using wood glue and pocket screws, clamping them firmly to ensure square corners. Sand the assembled face frames to a smooth finish. Once prepared, attach the finished face frames to the front of the cabinet carcass using clamps and screws, aligning them carefully with the cabinet openings.

Goal: Construct face frames from 1x2 oak lumber, assembling them with pocket holes and glue, then secure them to the front of the cabinet carcass.
