I used to glue up my face frames with biscuits every time, now I just use pocket holes and it's way faster
For like 15 years I was all about the biscuit joiner on every single face frame. Cutting slots, lining them up, hoping they dont shift when you clamp. Did a big kitchen remodel last summer in Portland and the schedule was so tight I just said screw it and drilled pocket holes for the whole thing. Saved me like 4 hours easy. No more fighting with uneven joints or glue squeeze out in the wrong spots. Plus if you mess up a measurement, pocket holes are way easier to undo. I still use biscuits for something like a big table top where you need the alignment. But for face frames? Never going back. Any of you guys switch methods for something you used to swear by?

Switched to dominos for face frames and never looked back.

Yeah I saw a pro carpenter talk about how solid dominos are for face frames.
