Don’t get too excited. I completed this in December as part of the armoire. I have been chasing my tail to get the pictorials/documentation onto my website. This is another one now done, with several still to come.

"Hope it is interesting."
Yes, and well-done, as usual.
I've always leaned toward raised panels with a rectangular edge on the tongue, though, for (at least theoretically) better expansion/contraction control of the fit. Have you encountered issues with panels that lack the rectangular section? Just curious.
Hi Ralph
I have only ever used a squared tongue. I can't imagine the benefit of it being rounded ( I can see a chamfer helping with glue control).

my bad
My description may have been misleading, Derek. I didn't mean rounded. From the photo, the tongues on your panels appear to have a trapezoidal cross-section.all the way to the edge, as opposed to the angled face transitioning into a rectangular tongue at the edge (as cut by the typical raised-panel router bits or shaper cutters). But, I might be misreading the photo. If the edge is trapezoidal, I was curious about how the fit changes with seasonal expansion/contraction.
Hi Ralph
It must be a trick of the angle or camera, but all is square. Nothing evolutionary or revolutionary I'm afraid.

OK, thanks. That explains it.
I'm familiar with camera tricks. I have a special self-portrait filter that drops 40 years. ;-)
Derek,
I always enjoy your posts. Keep up the good work.
