I'm currently working on this "large" entertainment
center project. I am not a pro - just retired and
an amateur woodworker who watches Norm and that
sort of thing.

Anyhow, I bought the Kreg 2000 (?) jig kit to assemble
some face frames for the project. So far, I have found that
the pocket screw system is pretty great - especially if you are
like me and have never used it before - speeds things up and
really gives nice tight joints.

I am at the point in my project where I need to attach the FF's.
Now, I have done this several (many) times in the past. Usually,
I glued/nailed or glued/biscuited to attach the FF's.

Since I got this new Kreg kit and the "Mini" which came with it,
I was considering attaching FF's with glue and a few PS's using
the Mini.

Anyone do this regularly? Seems like it would save a lot of
filling/staining nail holes (outside) while admittedly needing
some sanding to flush up the PS plugs (inside).

Most of the "boxes" are in place and do not allow clamping
from the back because of wall clearance etc.

There are many ways that will work. For many many years I simply glued and
finish nailed the face frame to the carcus. Now however I dado the face
frame onto the carcus and still use a few finish nails to attach. Nail
holes do have to be puttied but if you place a piece of masking tape at each
location that you intend to place a nail and shoot through the tape you end
up with a shield that prevents the putty from getting into the surrounding
wood grain. Apply the putty on top of the tape and after the putty dries
finish sand the entire face frame. The tape will sand off also.
