Default How to attach face frame to shelf unit.

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?


Just glue it on. If you feel that you just *have* to have some sort of
mechanical fastener as well (you don't), either nail it through a raised
sliver (glue down sliver after) or (my favorite) use countersunk screws
and plug the screw hole with face grain plugs. Very salty (nautical)
