Also, a cutting list. So, great start. Good luck with the build. I really enjoy seeing people tackle traditional joinery.

I can't decide whether to have a vertical divider between the two cupboards. Is it just an aesthetic/practicality point, or is there more to consider? If I put a shelf in, I guess it would provide a front support which could help with bowing.
