if you need more detail in any areas just let me know. the one drawing was one page of five that i had info on -- since i don't yet have a table saw, i went to HD with a list of cuts and cut diagrams for the guy. we just ripped and cross-cut for half an hour and it all turned out exactly right. it was dang slick.
