For all Plus members
In this one I’m making some simple plywood wall cabinets for the workshop, but without using a tape measure, a rule, or a square, and without nails or screws. I’ll be making housings and rebates (dados and rabbets) but I won’t be using a router or a table saw, just a tracksawsaw, and I’m doing this not to make life difficult for myself, but to remind ourselves that folks have been making nicely turned out bits of woodwork for thousands of years, long before we had fancy tools and that a lot of the time, all you really need is a piece of string or a mark on a stick for the overall dimensions - everything else you can work from those basic measurements. Enjoy!

The way you do additive rebates is really quite smart, I'm going to try that out. Also like Geoffery mentioned, using off cuts to reference is another technique I need to try and get the hang of. Your results speak for themselves!
Really like them Peter
I love it when you do these videos Peter, once again you make it look easy 👍
Making it look simple as always, Peter! The camera is great here, looks 👌🔥
The key point I learnt from earlier videos of yours Peter is that this method of cutting pieces to the right size by referencing off the width of offcuts for shelf positions, bases, backs, sides, etc, is far more accurate and repeatable than adding or subtracting 6, 12 or 18mm offsets as the sheet goods are almost never the precise thicknesses quoted.
I’ve been doing this all the time for a set of workshop drawers and got far superior results than the first set I made which had each drawer measured to size
