Key facts
| Materials | 3/4 in. pre-finished maple veneer plywood, 1/2 in. plywood, 1/4 in. plywood backs, maple lumber for face frames, glue, pocket hole screws, staples, Brad nails, finish screws, wood filler, Domino tenons |
|---|---|
| Safety warning | Recommends using a crosscut sled, a stop block and extra support for the sled when cutting dados near the center of a long panel on the table saw, and says the saw has thrown a panel back at him before when he skipped these. Shows a track saw cut as a safer alternative to using the fence as a stop block. Says to drill test pieces so pocket hole screws do not poke through the show side. Does not mention permits or calling a pro. |
