New saw cuts SO very smooth – glue-up quality! I’m very pleased!
Gluing the second “handle” to the end.

Cabinet Circumcision, Virtual and in Reality
The entire cabinet is veneer covered particle board and is heavy. There were four screws in the bottom, four screws in the top, three screws in the back, and six staples holding each of the dividers (perhaps a little overkill?). The hardware was not added to the model to keep the model count below 60 as that is a limit for the free version of Creo.
