Hello,
I am trying to build the cabinet article that is attached. However, I don’t have a router table as well as a dovetail jig nor table saw. However, I do have a couple of routers and a Festool system with a circular saw and MFT table due to space constraint.
Any recommendation of how I can make the joinery for the plywood as in the article he used finger joinery with the table saw.
Is there any other alternative joinery that I can use without the need of a table saw or router table. However, I would like to do the joinery with a router without the router table.
Recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Moataz

Have you considered hand cut dovetails? Or make your own dovetail jig.

Quick and dirty w/o a lot of hooray and Who Shot John - nailed and glued butt joints and then glueblocks on the inside - segment them if you need to keep them out of the way of planned shelf location.
With a router - a bareface tongue and groove joint. You'll need to reinforce with nails on this one too.
Use epoxy glue under both scenarios.

I second the rabbets - I built a version of this cabinet, using rabbets backed by nails. It's completely solid.cheers

Barefaced tongue and groove is way better...

You need to edit your post and remove that pdf attachment. It is copywritten and not nice to post on a free forum where anyone can get it.
