On woodweb you wanted to see if you could draw the cabinet I needed.
This is the one I am working on right now. It has corner drawers and a drawer bank on one side and a door and drawer on the other one, all as one unit.
Denny,
I was wondering if you are using blind dado, full dado or butt construction. It really doesn't matter. you can build the cabinet as an assembly and eliminate certain parts of each cabinet and enter-twine them with parts of the other cabinets to get the parts cut. The problem is going to be getting correct machining for all the parts. The corner drawer cabinet is still a tedious thing to do if you want a router to drill all of your hardware holes etc. I think it can be done but will take a lot of work to get there. The good thing is that you only have to draw the cabinet once and save it. The bad thing is that it would be hard to re-size your corner type cabinet.
Below are some pictures of something that I threw together to test the idea.

I had my first job machined using blind dadoes, I am considering switching to full dadoes for the next job though.
I am not as concerned with having hardware holes drilled properly at this time as much as just getting a cutlist that the router can cut and have the cabinet come together as it should. If i get to that point I can start to play around with system holes, but for face frame cabinets that is less of an issue for me.
Denny,
Sorry so long on the reply, we left town for the weekend. The partitions are actually another cabinet with everything deleted except the ends. I did it this way so that it could be easily re-sized. I would have to create the dadoes manually in the part editor, but it could be done so that they would machine. Full dadoes would be easier than blind. I will keep playing with this to see if it can't be simplified.
