I'm building a corner cabinet that has a face frame and plywood sides.
I'm having a problem figuring out how to join the two plywood sides at
the back corner. I can't picture how to clamp the sides together since
they meet at a 90 degree angle.

Assuming that the outside sides won't show and that they are at least 1/2"
thick...

1. Butt the edge of one piece against the side of the other

2. Hold in place with pipe clamps

3. Drill through the face of one side into the edge of the other and glue
in 1/4 - 3/8 dowels every 6" or so.

4. Cut off any protrusion of the dowels after glue dries

Note that I didn't suggest you should take great care in assuring that the
pieces are at 90 degrees to each other. They *should* be in the ballpark
but absolute precision isn't really necessary because it is very unlikely
that the two walls where the cabinet will go are square. To fix that wall
irregularity, just set the cabinet in place as well as it will go (before
making the face frame) and adjust the face frame width as necessary.

Another alternative is to put the cabinet where it is to go before making
the face frame and spring the cabinet sides in/out as necessary by
increasing/decreasing the width of the face frame.

Either way, you may have to spile the FF edges to the wall.
