Well I finally got around to building a much needed wall cabinet for my shop. I used the Poplar Ply from HD ($29/sheet 4'X8') and some scrap pine. The plywood cuts and machines real well. The dado's are 11/16ths on Freud dado set w/one shim...and they fit perfectly. The carcass corners were made with offset dado's and the partitions w/full dado's.

The doors were made from scrap pine and tempered hardboard w/stub tenon construction and no-mortise hinges. I used a french cleat to hang and I installed a 36' under counter light that gives me some much needed light by the lath.
Overall I'm very satisfied w/the poplar ply from HD and will most likely buy some more for some additional cabinets.
An additional surprise came when the UPS guy showed up with a brand spanking new Makita 18V Hammer drill. LOML had been entering the HGTV Pro weekly contest for about a year and she won the hammer drill. I Guess I need to stop needling her about wasting her time on those silly contests.
