Well, I just took the plunge & ordered the SB link & the book. And I'll signup again for the videos. My wife (and my back's) not going to be happy with me spending more time at the computer, but I know it's necessary.

It's like you were reading my mind Mike. The 40+ hours comment scares me a little, but I have a pretty good understanding of what's going on. I'm going to do the same thing you did & build small test cabs & drawers to get my confidence up.

I did notice there's a conflict that occurs if I dado the back panel into the top/bottom while also wanting to have blind dados between the sides & top/bottom that would require flip-ops - something I don't want to do yet - so I'll have either cut the dado on a table saw later or change my construction. How did you do it?

Hardware holes, edgebanding, no flip-ops, small tests on inexpensive material - all good advice.

Thank you.
