Sounds like you need to get a pro,even a cabinet maker or someone who
can do some woodworking.Besides the cost of wood that you miscut,it
needs to look good.If I were in your area I'd do it for you but I'm in
La.And we have a funny saying about carpentry,"I cut it twice and its
still to short".Get some help!!!Short joke about carpentry.Boy goes to
the lumber yard and ask for a 2x4and the man ask how long does your
daddy need that 2x4,the boy says I don't know I'll have to ask him.The
returns later and the man at the yard ask the boy,well how long does
your daddy need that 2x4,the boy replies,a long time he's gonna build a
house with it!!!!!!!!!     Dick #191 High Spirits soon to be changed
