I receive email from FWW magazine. Garrett Hack was doing a video series on a small tool cabinet with sliding dovetails. Since I just finished a sliding dovetail project, it caught my eye. Garrett sized his off his trim. I sized my prototype (built from old pallets and construction lumber) off an LV #4 smoother I am hoping Santa will bring me.
The idea of using story sticks and sizing parts off of pieces already cut is comfortable to me so following this method was welcome:

Garrett cuts a lot of pieces oversize and then planes or chisels them to final size. I'm OK with cutting to final size on my tailed tools but, I'm game, this is fun stuff:

A dado and a stopped dado are cut for the lower section divider and then the basic case gets glued up:
