As to Dado's in the FF, is it only on the stiles/vertical's or on
both? Glue only, or Glue and ?

NOTE: In production cabinet making the parts that are the _floor_ and
_top_ of a cabinet (since they are usually the same dimension, and batch
cut at the same time) are often singularly called a "floor" in the parts
list for the cabinets.

Dadoes/grooves are cut in the back side of both stiles of the face frame
to accept the front edge of the end panels.

Dadoes/grooves are cut in the back side of both top and bottom rails of
the face frame of a wall cabinet to accept the front edge of the
"floors" (both a top and bottom).

(dadoes/grooves are generally cut in only the bottom rail of a base
cabinet, as a base cabinet in traditional face frame cabinets often only
has a single bottom/floor).

All these joins are usually glued, and also often nailed, into the
dadoes/grooves cut into both the face frame and end panels.

Here's an exploded view of typical "shop built" face frame wall cabinet
construction, as above.

Thank you for the full explanation as well as the picture to re
enforce what you said.

Is glue only on the FF to the Cabinet unwise?
