    How Would You Make This? (Photo Included)

    I'd still be inclined to go a frame type route and then cover the backs of the chairs, top to bottom with the panel cut in to sections, the panel only' needs to be a few mm thick as it's providing finish rather than structure.

    My first real wood specific power tool - Router!

    I started off with a real cheapo TechTools (or similar) router from Aldi / Neeto. Think it was about £15, 1010W or something. It worked fine and I ended up buying a second. Both are still working just fine, but have been supplemented by the big Triton for table use and a B&D for more general use.

    Learning Picture Framing / DIY, WW etc.

    Unless you're going in to mass production, I'd look to by the material with the desired moulding already done. If you are planning on doing a lot, you may be better off with a spindle molder than router table as you can produce more complex moulds in a single pass and will have far better...

    Wood Store Shed Design

    Why do you want the front to fold down? I'd have it open to the side so you can walk in without walking over the door. Make the carcass self supporting with a top plate all the way round. Then make the roof as a separate entity. At the length in question, you may be better to make it in 2...
