I've dabbled a bit over the years building things out of wood but mainly out of necessity. Now I think its becoming a serious addiction. Sawdust fever. Glad I found this site, you guys are showing some great work and great ideas!

Big cabinet for the new home #3: Design change, big dado setup, rabbets and an oops.
