Thanks Chris. My plan for the cabinet carcass is a quick & dirty frameless Euro-style box out of plywood with dividers in the necessary spots to carry the drawer slides. I will likely just dowel and screw the box together (after all, it's a shop fixture not fine furniture) and maybe veneer the ends to hide the screws. Working in a commercial cabinet shop i have a nearly endless supply of plywood cut-offs and leftover veneer sheet shorts so I will call upon those reserves for this one.
The drawer boxes are going to have poplar sides & backs and cherry fronts to match the top. I like to use half blind dovetails on drawer boxes, and the front of each box will have rabbeted half blinds to overlay the edges of the cabinet box. I love cutting dovetails so I'm looking forward to that part of the build.
