Work and 3 small kids has slowed down my shop time so I thought I would get a NYW plan to make my next project go as fast as possible. SWMBO wants a large kitchen hutch so I selected this one from NYW (http://www.newyankee.com/getproduct.php?111). The design is exactly what I wanted and it looked like it would be very quick to build.
Here is my problem, Norm built the sides and top out of solid wood then glued and nailed everything together including the plywood interior shelves. There is absolutely no allowance made for wood movement. Should I worry about this? I've never had a project fail, but I've always been very careful to leave room for wood movement and I have not mixed plywood and solid construction before.
