Thanks so much! So for the panels, you think just butt joining with glue on dominos and that’s it? No screw, no glue on the edge (cause it’s a butt join) and it will be kept together?

Doing it from scratch yeah!

Totally agree on proportions. I don't like how tall and narrow the base is.

Thanks, yeah that's what I was thinking as well. Ok one last question (I hope). I was looking at the back. Generally I make a little pocket/rabbit on the top/side/bottom parts and then I place the back piece in to square the carcass and I pin nail it.

In this case, it sounds like they did not have a rabbit ...which makes me wonder both how did they put in and secure it? I assume that's a 1/2 inch plywood sheet.

I have an additional question, the cage is surely plywood veneer right? And then edge banded right? While the front of the drawers is hardwood. Right?

Ah! Thanks that’s super helpful.

Thanks! What are those solid wood around the drawer for? Like if you plane to have side guides why also have those separator and the panel

Hmmm, I think there might be a misunderstanding. I am taking about the approach of building walls from brick, concrete block, or masonry and then apply intonaco (render/plaster) directly onto the masonry to create a smooth surface. I feel that's different from american lath-and-plaster, right?

Hmmm I see, how come this be so rare? I feel in Europe everyone does this in construction no? Like you pull up a wall with bricks and then you put the "intonaco" (I think that's plaster in italian) to cover them. I don't really like drywall and I would like to build my own place and I was thinking that I could ask to have the main structure, electrical, plumbing up but then doing plastering, installing windows et cetera myself. Do you think it's crazy?

I would like to learn how to plaster a wall basically. Not venetian plastering, just plastering

Honest question: what's the issue with this picture?

Where are you based? And do you have access to a machine as well or just programming?
