I used hard maple for the face frames. I used General Finishes water based stain and high performance top coat.

Thanks for the video. Lots of great ideas here. I especially liked the fixtures that you made to drill the repetitive dowel holes. I have the Dowelmax jig, which is a bit different from the Jessem but now I’d like to make a similar setup for it. I make my face frames mostly like you do, and one thing I’ve had some success with is drilling a pocket hole on the back side of the face frame between the dowels. I like this because it clamps the joint, and with the dowels in there I don’t have to worry about any movement when driving the pocket hole. Thanks again!

Thanks for watching! I like that pocket hole idea…I’ll keep that in mind for next time! 👍🏻

If you check around the 4:30-4:50 mark in the video you can see I have screws holding the jig to the edge of my workbench. I just used a couple of pan head pocket hole screws. In hindsight I should have probably done it a little differently because I had some inconsistent alignment when gluing the frames…but it wasn’t anything that couldn’t be easily sanded flush…just took extra time to do. Hope that helps but if not let me know. 👍🏻

Great works! I have been looking for a video that uses the Jessem dowel jig and yours looks great. However, could you make a video specifically about the Jessem doweling jig setup that you use in this video? If you have it already, can you share the link? Thanks

[@DanPrudlow]

Thanks for the comment. I don’t have a video specifically on the doweling jig and I’m not sure when I’ll have time to make something like that as I have a lot of projects lined up. There may be others out there though. It’s a pretty easy jig to use though. Thanks for watching.
