For all 10MW Plus members
Avoid this mistake! Whatever you use - dowels, Dominos, biscuits or Clamex - you can fit a cabinet together without turning it into a fight and in this one I share my process for marking out cabinet components so they fit together easily. Enjoy!

Such a great reference video, quite often for an amateur woodworker, it can be weeks sometimes months between fitting different sets of loose tennons.
Having this video available to look back on the process will eventually become second nature.
I never realised or appreciated that I needed at least three combination squares, but it's so obvious after watching the video that it can save so much time and greatly improve repeatability 😁.
Great Tips, Thanks Peter.
Marking out like that is especially useful if you're making something bigger with many pieces, or multiples of something. Particularly then if you're a part timer and it could be days between cutting and joining the boards, you can always pick up where you left off and maintain accuracy.
The other thing I do after a dry fit, if there are multiples of anything, like shelves, or sides for multiple carcases, is that I number them on the blind edge. If there are any discrepancies in the pieces or anything is off you won't suddenly find out when your glue is going off! 😁 Don't ask me how I know that
Always learn something useful from you videos. Reference the marking out from the same edge, I've never thought of that!
I have to actually write out 'Ref' on my Domino reference faces, otherwise I forget what the 'R' means Lol. Great tips.
Speaking of tips. ToolNation in the Netherlands has Hikoki 125 mm circular saw blades that might fit Scott Brown's Makita circular saw. If ToolNation doesn't ship to New Zealand, sounds like a great excuse for you (and Mrs. 10 minutes) to make a courier run of those blades down to Scott. ;-)
