Cutting the wood

It was time to cover the whole garage in layers of sawdust. The plywood was first rough-cut with a circular saw to get near the lines. Then I used a router to accurately get right up to the line. The cabinet sides came out looking like this:


Both side panels are exactly the same because I used a router template bit to cut the second one, using the first one as a template. So that didn't take much time, but what took too much time was the billion little pieces for each subassembly. A table saw would've been ideal, but I don't own one.

It was time to start putting the pieces together.
