I took some classes with Brian last summer to build a wall cabinet. I made one with him from red oak and a second one on my own from beech. Full disclosure: The rough dimensioning was with power tools. The joinery and surface finishing was by hand. The Dozuki was used to cut almost everything. I appreciated the delicacy and accuracy this afforded on small rabbets and miters (3/8"-1/2").
I appreciate Brian's designs for their deceptive elegance. The door geometry had me scratching my head on the parts and dimensions almost until final assembly.
