The wife and I are in the process of building a new home. I'm going to have a 15' X 27' shop area. So I wanted to make a few cabinets for it. I had some left Baltic birch from my sys port build. I used my track saw to cut the plywood. Then the 1400 with the edge guide to cut the dado for the back. Then used it to trim the edge banding while clamped to the MFT edge. For the assembly of the panels I used the XL 700 with a senca adapter with a 6 mm bit. I was real happy how it works and how well it lines up the sides to the top and bottom panel. The LR-32 made the shelf holes and hinge mounting holes. Then some pocket holes in the top and bottom panel. I had to regroup on the hinges as the first ones did not work. I'm very happy how it all turned out. Had some finish problems. I used some cherry stain on the inside and did not care for the color. So used natural for the outside. It was good practice for when I make some for the mud room in the new house. Thanks again to the poplar shop and the others I bugged with question.

Looks great! Each project always has a learning curve, whether it be cutting, sanding or staining. So what method have you decide on hanging the cabinets?  French cleat or just screwed into the studs?
