He’s a famous male hairdresser.

Always try and fix if it’s possible and within my skill set.

Keep them covered and they’ll stay flat indefinitely.

There’s always a better tool than a handheld power planer. Maybe useable for removing crap off a board ready to be machined but definitely not for anything that needs a tiny degree of accuracy.

Read your article, very informative. I was just curious if it became a problem the more boards you had in your panel, the ones further out needing to move more than the central boards.

I understand, there’s more than one cabinet in a run. To further compound your problem, a hinge that pushes your door out to clear the one on the hinge side might bind with the one on the lock side. Would you have room to put a spacer strip in between the cabinets?

Hand plane every time, you can get a rectangular shaving if your plane’s sharp and turn the plane as you go around the corners.

Projects like this should be designed with available ironmongery in mind otherwise you run into problems. I can’t really see what the problem is unless they’re hinged on the central divider and need to open like a butterfly?

Have you got another picture with the door in the face frame?

Would you use the sprung edge joint if you were joining more than two boards together?

That’s a very nice vice and one I’ve never seen before with the lettering above the handle. Made between 1918 and 1930 according to this article The Record 52 ½ vice

It’ll be bowed end to end whatever way you put it together.

I could ride a horse to work every day if I chose to, admittedly It would take more time but still get me to my destination. Thankfully there are quicker more convenient ways to go about it so I choose not to, however, should my car not work, public transport be on strike, bike had a puncture...

Of course, I do this for a living. You didn’t read my response correctly did you.

I could get a board edge flat with a block plane and straight edge if that was all I had. It’s all to do with knowledge and practice not how many thou your plane’s out by.

Doing two boards at once isn’t a very good way as it relies on your ability to get those edges perfectly straight, slightly out and the gap’s doubled when both are put together.

When planing an edge one of the best ways to quickly tell if it’s flat or thereabouts is the sound the straightedge makes when you place it on the wood. Flat always sounds different and is a single crack, very distinctive and different to when it’s not flat.

Wow, so much discussion on something so simple where you could just draw it out with a compass on a piece of mdf and get all the info required.

Looks like a Parting Tool but used as a Skew Chisel.
