    Why did you not put a back on the plans

  2. William Brown

    I downloaded the plan on 9/7 and I don't see anything referring to the dado or rabbit cuts.

  3. Larry

    Have you given any thought to using a solid piece of plywood or MDF and cutting slots for the tools but still incorporating the vertical pieces. I would use dado to help hold it as well. Due to various issues I won't be able to start it until October. Thanks for all the great tips.

  4. Steven Friedman

    what software do you use to draw your planes? If it's sketchup, do you know of a place to learn it other than on line?

  5. Dan Bottie

    Thanks so much, this is really great! I got in on this late but still great.

    Mr. Vondriska, I am starting this project late (single dad 3 kids under 10). When cutting the dadoes in the side panels of the carcass, would you recommend cutting the dadoes across the combined sheet (30-5/8" combined width plus 1/8 kerf waste) and then cutting that sheet into the 2 side panels (15-1/4" each) to ensure perfect dado alignment? Or, would you just cut the two panels and then rely on using the distance from my table saw fence to the dado stack to ensure accuracy? Thanks for all the knowledge you/ve shared through WWGOA. I've learned so much, and look forward to learning more.

    I would like to make my notch about 6 inches taller and due away with one drawer to have more space on the top

    George, on page 5 the picture shows a double wall on each side next to the 2 outside hangers plus to small vertical pieces behind the 2 outside hangers. What are these for and are they on the cut list? Thanks for your help. Chuck

  9. Big Jake

    I can appreciate how my method of assembly or cutting specifics might ultimately effect the overall finished product dimensions, but what about the cabinet shop that builds for a specific installation. You might want to comment on where that difference comes into play. Why can we not build to a specific plan with dimensions included?

  10. ELEANOR Jost

    I don't see a cut list or any information on your pages for the solid materials to be used. Example; 2 drawer fronts: 3/4 x 5-3/8 x 22. etc. How much pine should I buy? Did you buy dimensional lumber and then glue it up for panels or did you buy panels already at 3/4 " thick by ??" wide? In a set length? for the face frames you mention a strip meassurement of 1" by ?? ? How much pine needed forthe pine face frame? Inches or board foot? Thank you
