I did them with careful marking out, a hand saw, chisels and a router plane. I made a wooden guide at the angle i wanted for when i sawed down the line.

Thank you, appreciated and…. Mmmmm, good question. Well it was about 10 months. I work full time so it was only on weekends as and when I could. In terms of man hours, I reckon about 300 man hrs is my best estimate.

Chisels and gouges behind the rh door flap. I left a bit of room in places in the cabinet for expansion too but it took ages to figure out where to put stuff. I spent many an hour playing with big A0 sheets of paper and cut outs and then drawing round tools to get it to fit
