A friend asked me to build her a closet to hide the future washer/dryer. Designed an enclosure with two sliding doors (using Sketchup). After considering space limitations, designed for a stackable.

Festools in evidence: TS55, RO90, CXS, CT Mini, and MFT/3. Little space, little mess. Little did I know that the guys who laid the walls must have been drunk or something, as no corner was square, no wall was plumb, and the stucco had big, fat bellies. Put my new Multimaster to good use cutting the edges to match the walls. All said and done, I think it came out all right.

I love my Festools!

I like how you've presented the project at design, project start, and completion.  It's very cool to see the process and how the finished product matches up with the plans.
 
Used 3/4" brazilian plywood with so called amazonic cedar as veneer. Has beautiful figure which I have used to advantage when building kitchens. Unfortunately, it is no longer available, as locals prefer to use PVC or hidrófugo with veneer or Formica to make the cabinets, and don't want to pay $55 for this beautiful wood.

You did a beautiful job of grain matching.  I really like it.  Thanks for sharing, Bill
