Scrap wood project. It actually turned out pretty good 👍 #woodworking #tools #diy

What happens here

Prepare the components for the face frame that will be attached to the front of the cabinet. Use a miter saw to precisely cut solid wood strips to the correct lengths for the vertical stiles and horizontal rails of the face frame. Then, utilize a Kreg Pocket Hole Jig and a cordless drill to create pocket holes on the ends of the rail pieces. These pocket holes will allow for strong, hidden joints when assembling the face frame and attaching it to the cabinet. Assemble the face frame by joining the stiles and rails with wood screws driven into the pocket holes.

Goal: Create and assemble the decorative and structural face frame
