Tbh, I swore by pocket screws for face frames until I tried dominoes
Honestly, I thought pocket screws were fast and strong enough for all my face frame work. Tbh, a buddy lent me his domino joiner for a big built-in job, and I was skeptical. After using it, the alignment was perfect every time, with no clamping fuss. Ngl, I'm switching to dominoes for face frames now, it just makes everything smoother.
