I think it's a worthwhile venture. And I would add that the graphic skills of (I think her name is Sherri who did the logo for AudioRoundtable) or someone similarly skilled in the art of the
graphic presentation and layout would also be necessary. I have no
html skills at all, nor do I have a digital camera, scanner, and
various other accessories necessary to build a useable FAQ.

But working together, I think a start can be made. Several of the
craftspeople involved on an active level with the hobby live in
apartments like myself. What we can do without a cabinet shop as a
subcontractor is limited. With a cabinet shop doing the panel cutting, assembly and finishing can be done in a fairly confined space so long as ventilation is available-- _in season_ in my case being from Wisconsin. :-)

[I've never gotten any comment from my neighbors here on the
second floor of the building about the occassional sawing and
hammering that goes on in here-- sometimes during the Opera on
Saturday afternoon from the Met.]

So what would the first question of the FAQ be or what is the
first question that any of the readers... especially you _lurkers_
... want it to be? ;-)

I'll start it out which only seems only fair:

You've decided on a design you'd like to execute.

What is the proper way to do a cut list? Is there software that
can take a given panel size and spit out a cut list which is most
efficient and conserves the most product? Or is this still something
that has to be done with an architectural scale rule and graph paper?

On a related topic and before I forget, the most recent Fine Woodworking magazine has a reference for a handheld calculator for
doing conversions from inches to millimeters back and forth. It's from Calculator Industries and is called The Pocket Handyman III. I have not gotten the URL for it yet, but I could put it in a separate
post.
