How do you join your face frames?
When making face frames, how do you do your joinery?

I use pocket hole with a Kreg Jig and sometimes biscuits.

I do it the easy way, and the best way, with mortice and tenon. Our descendants are never going to admire the quality of our pocket-hole joinery.

Depending on where I'm working (in a workshop, on site, in a cramped boat bobbing on the water), what equipment I've got access to (lots to none at all) and the budget range of the client, I have used a variety of methods.
Biscuits, pocket hole, screw and plug (pretty standard on boats), M & T, loose tenon, butted and shot together from behind with a wriggle stapler :eek: (for the real low budget ones).

OK, perhaps I should say 'what's your preferred method'?

Skew nails, but that wasn't an option in the poll.

Depending on strength requirements either biscuit (most common) or occasionally loose tenon.

I voted M&T as per Rocker's reasoning.
On the other hand, if the face frame was just going on MDF or something cheap, then I'd probably use biscuits

Mortise & Tenon, have used pocket hole in the past and even earlier on Dowels.

This has happened a couple of times lately, a post that is very old has popped up for no reason. The last time this one came up was September 2004 and yet when I clicked on "New Posts" this one was amongst them. Very mysterious.

As soon as someone votes on a poll it pops up the top even though there hasn't been a post to the thread.
I think we should start putting closing dates on polls to stop this from occurring. We get newbies who have a look at the polls forum and vote for all polls there.Photo Gallery
