I'm planning to try my hand at building some new cabinets this summer to replace the ones that have turned to sawdust. About the most complex wood project I've ever undertaken is building Pinewood Derby cars, so I'm asking for some guidance from all of you woodworking experts out there.
What wood do you prefer to use?
Do you follow the joint design used in the original cabinet construction, or something simpler/stronger/easier?
Actually, I'm not sure what other questions to ask. I'm still reading up on cabinet-building and woodworking in general, and have been intently following Alan Story's restoration on Facebook (which, by the way, looks fantastic).
