Hi All, I thought a cabinet build thread might be of interest to some of you DIY-ers and also to anyone interested in the process generally. I've plonked this in the 'Made in the UK' section as this is a professional endeavour but I'll also put up a signpost to it in the 'Makers and Modders' section. Let me know if the other way round makes more sense.
I'll do my best to take pictures as I go along but will inevitably get lost in the work from time to time and forget to document what I'm doing! With this in mind please do ask any questions here about anything you're curious about.

Interested to see how this progresses
Could you give a little more detail about the routing please?
I run the board through a table saw to prevent the breakout like you have above, once the fence is set right you can cut through dozens of boards quickly - anything to save time.
I modified the comb jig to take the faff out of those dovetail jigs, I can cut the joints for several cabs pretty quickly.
You can see it here if you have not already seen it:

I plan to build a finger jointer with multiple dado blades so I can cut finger joints the same way Marshall do, that is super fast.
I hadn't seen that - yes, that's a really nice way of doing it, definitely less faff as you say. Thanks for sharing, I might well hatch a plan to set up something similar in the future.
Top marks, sir.
