I am determined to use more "real" wood, even for making tool cabinets. So maybe it makes sense to make carcasses from plywood, but I want to at least make pieces like doors from panels made with hard or soft wood.
I am interested in hand tool techniques for making raised panels and panels in frames. I am looking for the best techniques: draw boring, mitered corners, mortise and tenons, dowels, half laps.....specifically discussed in regard to making frames to hold panels for cabinets and furniture. Specifically how to make frames and panels with hand tools. Also how to mount the panels in the frames. I am trying to avoid machines, but if this is not practical for some parts I am listening.
