You mention that the finger joints are easy to make and that they are very
strong. For the woodworking newbie that I am, how do you cut the fingers?
Either side of the finger is not a problem, but how do you get to the back
side to cut it out? Also, are the fingers and glue the only thing holding
the
main frame of the cabinet together?



You could be lazy like me and buy a jig. First I got, for about $8 from
Sears, the plans and hardware to make a box joint jig for the table saw, but
eventually I just broke down and got their deluxe dovetailing jig, on sale
for about $100. I'll let you know how it works when I get around to building
something with it...several things on the drawing board. With this, you use
a router to quickly make various box & dovetail joints.
