What happens here

Cut 1x2 lumber to the dimensions of the front opening of the base cabinet. Assemble the face frame using pocket hole joinery, applying wood glue to the joints. Once the frame is assembled and dry, secure it to the front of the cabinet carcass using additional pocket hole screws and glue. This provides a clean edge for doors and drawers, and further reinforces the cabinet structure.

Goal: Build a face frame for the base cabinet using 1x2 lumber, securing it with pocket holes to the front of the assembled carcass to create a finished look and provide additional stability.
