Bob meets with Ryley to discuss the site-built, built-in cabinets of �� Birch plywood. The cabinets were all precut in the shop before being transported to the location. Back at the shop, Ryley shows Bob many of the cuts and jigs used in the crafting of the cabinets. Then shows Bob some of the techniques used to make the panel doors using a router, table saw and radial arm saw with a dado blade.
