Building a Bookcase Part II: Face FramesPart II of our Building a Bookcase video series covers the topic of face frames. We talk about ways to construct face frames (mortise and tenon, and pocket hole joinery) along with things to consider when figuring out what size your face frames need to be. We'll even show you how to make sure your face frames fit your bookcase perfectly every time. Thanks for watching! Craig Stevens

Hi Craig
Nice videos, very informative. I been using pocket holes for a long time they are real time saver, esp since Kerg introduced their jigs. I use to them on a homemade jig on a drill press. keep up the good work.

Craig,
The new video format does not run as smoothly as the old format. The new one has a lot of starts and stops for the streaming to catch up.

This looks terrific. What ever you did both the picture and sound are very clear.

I really enjoy your show. For some time, I've been subscribed via iTunes, but I love coming to your site to see the other things you have posted here.
Keep up your great work.
And, I shall have some occasional questions, I'm sure.

I thought you said early on in the podcast that the face frame width of the stiles should be consistant with the width of the rails that show beyond your crown molding and base molding. But, when you were showing the base molding, you had no rail showing at all! ??

Steve,
When making face frames, the general rule is to have the same exposure showing on the rails and stiles. This is just because your eye will notice small changes in the differences in width and most people like symmetry.
On a bookcase, I like the base molding to come up to about 1/4" to 1/8" shy of the bottom shelf. You could use the same exposure at the bottom as well, but I don't think it's necessary.
Your eye, when looking at the face frame of a bookcase, won't notice the change in exposure as much as if it's on the sides and top. This is because they are more at eye level.
If I did state in the video that the exposure should be the same all the way around, I meant to say only the top rail and stiles should be the same. Sometimes my mouth goes faster than my mind works!
