[Woodcarver] terminology explaination (was cutting angles)

[Larry Robertson]

Hi Merrilee

"Face Side" is a term we throw around in the furniture trade.  It means the 
good side of the board(or the side which will be on the display on the 
finished piece, for example a drawer front).  In Jean's case I assume the 
face side will be the inside of the open book (open at 60 degrees - inside 
measurement).  I use the face side ( pencil marked with an "F") to make sure 
I'm always referencing measurements from the same side when cutting joints.
