What happens here

With the components laid out and the spacer jig ready, apply a bead of wood glue to the end grain of each horizontal rail where it will connect to the vertical stiles. Use the spacer jig to perfectly position each rail, then secure the joint using a cordless drill to drive pocket hole screws into the pre-drilled holes. This technique creates strong, durable joints for the face frame.

Goal: Join the face frame components by applying wood glue and driving pocket hole screws after positioning them with the spacer jig.
