  1. I need to make a cabinet for a couple of systainers and a drawer for screws. 4’ high x 12” d x 22” w, nothing fancy. That is, until I checked box store prices on 3/4” ply. Unbelievable! That takes BB ply completely out of the pic. Lowe’s carries a 4x8 sheet called whitewood ply which is about 30-40% less than the oak or birch. Has anyone used this stuff? 
    My thinking is that as small as the cabinet is, there shouldn’t be too much of a prob with it warping? 

  2. I personally don’t like the narrow drawers. Speaking from experience, it sure limits what they can hold. It would offset the symmetry but I would locate the sustainers to one side instead of the center and combine the smaller drawers into larger ones. 
    Is there a reason for the double stiles down the middle on the side that we are talking about? 

  3. This makes me feel better. I spent the night a couple of days ago in Kerrville TX at a halfway first class motel. I didn’t have a newspaper the next morning to read so I was looking around the toilet area and noticed the same darn thing! Damn scary! 😁

  4. Great instructional video Kev. Glad you got to use some of that “scrap” walnut! 😁

    As discussed before and it’s prob on my end but the voice over is much louder and clearer than the live audio but certainly audible.

  5. With the price of the materials being close, I would certainly go with the AM ply. I think the drawer design would be a personal preference on your needs. I’m about to build a systainer storage cabinet to get off of the floor so I like that idea. Maybe a combo with drawers to eliminate wasted space? 
    In your last post, second pic, what is the white area?
