#1 TRIM SECRET--This Is The KEY To Better-Looking Cabinetry/Woodworking Projects! (For New DIYers!) (FACE FRAMES)
Most new DIYers struggle to get their cabinetry projects and built-ins to look professional grade. In many instances, they're overlooking an important component altogether--FACE FRAMES. This short video from The Honest Carpenter will explain what face frames are, and how they work!
FACE FRAMES are a series of conjoined trim pieces that conceal the front edges of cabinet or set of shelves.
When new shelves or cabinets are built, they tend to have narrow edges at the front. In many cases, these are exposed plywood or mdf edges, which are unsightly to look at.
This unadorned body of the cabinet is known as a CARCASS.
Woodworkers and cabinet makers will construct a series of narrow trim pieces that sit 90 degrees to the unfinished face of the cabinet. This face frame will give the cabinet a more substantial, more finished look.
Also, face frames can STRENGTHEN a cabinet or shelf by adding some span support, like a mini-beam, when they're well attached with glue.
Modern furniture and cabinetry has sometimes steered away from classic face frames. But, many cabinets still use them to create a classic, finished look.
Thanks for watching!
