      Thank you FWW for posting this replay! I had signed up for the webinar and completely missed it (life got in the way). I even had notifications on my pone but no joy. Now at least I get to watch it. Thanks again :)

      I made this comment before I watched the video and again, I am always excited to learn from Mr. Latta. His common sense, no BS approach is refreshing. He has a rationale for every approach he takes on a project and I envy his students who get to spend time with him at the school. Thanks once again for posting this FWW, I plan to watch it over and over.

      The magazine article says the plans can be found on the plan store but I can't seem to locate them. Any ideas?

    3. BetsyE | Jul 28, 2020 03:04pm | #3

      sreilly24590, here's a link:

      Thanks for the link but there is no "Buy" or "Add to Cart" button. I can add to Wish list, Email to a Friend, and add to Compare but not buy.......Adding to wish list and then try to add to cart fails as well.

      The young lady I spoke with at Taunton Store said it was out of stock although it shows as available. Hopefully this will get cleared up soon. Really would like to get these plans. I can also see this in a scaled up version as a free standing cabinet with an adapted base and some internal lighting.

      Very helpful video with slides and commentary! Does Steve have a recommendation for how best to hang the cabinet on a wall?

    7. str8chevys | Aug 31, 2020 07:54pm | #8

      Can't buy the plans

    8. sreilly24590 | Aug 31, 2020 08:04pm | #9

      Just worked for me but it's a download only. See Add to Cart lower down the page...
