Next, how do I fasten the face frame to the main unit? I don't have a
biscuit joiner, and I don't think I'll be buying one. I do have at
least 10 clamps that are long enough to hold the face frame on while
gluing. So I could use glue and finish nails, then fill the holes
with... well, what would you use?

I use a blind nailer to fasten face frames. Basically, it raises a sliver of
wood, a nail is hit home and countersunk and then the sliver of wood is
glued back in place. Very easy, very clean.With a little practice, it makes
the attachment point virtually invisible. LV recommends fish glue, but my
preference is white carpenter's glue.

If you do use this method, I suggest that with hardwood, a slightly
undersized hole be drilled in the hardwood to permit easier insertion of the
nail. It's a bummer when you're doing a lot of hammering to bang the nail
home and you deflect off the nail crushing a portion of your face frame.
