Also, while most faces are a combination of shapes and angles, there are seven basic face shapes: round, oval, oblong, base-down triangle, base-up triangle, diamond and square.
To make the face appear thinner and longer, try angular narrow eyeglass frames to lengthen the face, a clear bridge that widens the eyes and frames that are wider than they are deep, such as a rectangular shape.
To minimize the width of the top of the face, try frames that are wider at the bottom, very light colors and materials, and rimless frame styles (which have a light, airy effect because the lenses are simply held in place to the temples by a few screws).

So I've decided to add a face frame for my garage cabinet project and in a similar project in workbench magazine they simply glued the face frame to the case.
My face frame will also be supporting a door (in the magazine there was no door) so I don't know how well the glue will hold (keep in mind these will be mobile cabinets on casters but it probably wouldn't be moved too often).
Also I plan to miter the case and the face frame at 45 degrees so I can minimize using edging or using hardwood for the face and to keep a sharp clean look.

It is easier to use the frame as the “foundation” for the cabinet, in many cases, than it is to build a carcass and frame independently and run the risk of tolerance issues.
Most frame constructed cabinets are made to be very forgiving with inconsistent walls, a complication that is familiar to home construction.
Although the frame construction method typically uses more expensive materials (in other words more wood) and therefore involves increased machining, sanding and finishing, the assembly process is often more forgiving.

Mars Global Surveyor has now taken a first hi-res image of the Face and revealed that it is probably an interesting mountain or mesa; no signs for an artefact are obvious (a fact which was not much surprising for most investigators and scientists).
