Rob Johnstone: In truth, I don’t know why there would be a structural difference. If there are a number of intermediate stiles and rails, glue up the innermost pieces first, and work your way outward.

Once the parts are cut, plan your assembly carefully. Same goes with door-building: stiles should cover the ends of rails. This convention, I believe, has more to do with aesthetics - hiding end grain from where it would be most visible (side to side) - than strength. The ends of any intermediate stiles butt against the rails.

Unless you have a really good reason to go against the grain of hundreds of years of tradition, your work will not look “right” unless the stiles continue through the entire vertical dimension.Ĭhris Marshall: The convention for face frames - you could almost call it a rule - is to run the outermost stiles the full length of the frame, then butt the ends of the top and bottom rails against the stiles. In my opinion, though, it is really a matter of design choice and tradition. The rails (the horizontal pieces of the frame) run into the stiles. I agree with you, Ron, that structurally, both constructions probably offer about the same strength. Tim Inman: Typically, the stiles (the vertical parts of the frame) run the entire length. Structurally they are the same, aren’t they? – Ron Bohland What is the proper way to construct/assemble them? Does the rail go inside the stile or does the stile go inside the rail? I have done them both ways, usually because I forget the proper way. Job well done, and a happy customer for life.I have a question about cabinet face frames.

In today's world there is a lot of talk about service, but very few deliver as you have. “Package received, but I just wanted to thank you again for the exceptional communication and assistance.

A Stile and Rail Door is a type of door constructed with one or more horizontal rails connected by vertical stiles.

For my shop there are no better router bits.' “I have almost every router bit Woodline makes. I learned my lesson and will hereafter buy all my bits from Woodline.' “I lost your catalog and bought a bit from someone else - It broke in a few minutes. There really isn't any reason to shop elsewhere-let us do our part to keep these guys cutting and selling bits!'
