ps. Previously, you had to find my email address and write to me to get these plans, it was just a little hurdle just to make sure you were interested enough. Over the years, more than 1,000 plans were sent out. This is a copy of the email you would've gotten. The hurdle's been removed - enjoy. 06.09.09

NOTES:

the places that sell high end plywood, will do the cutting for you. milling (cutting) charges are well worth it. be sure they square the wood, trim all sides, before cutting first and make certain the wood is not warped. the small red numbers indicate preferred cutting order to start. (this order will insure a better fit.) the 1" maple europly is sealed and finished on both sides. be sure to sand the edges nicely before assembly. you do have to wax or polyurethane the edges after or before assembly.

SUGGESTION: find the wood first, don't buy it yet. find & buy the door tracks. find & buy the plexi and buy it where they'll cut for you. then go back and buy the wood.
