Re: Cabinet Design and Construction
Buy a cheap biscuit jointer and use #10 biscuits.  
 
Those and a handfull of pipe clamps can make a very good and strong cabinet.  
 
If you dado a 3/4" x 3/8" dado slot around the inside of the 4 cabinet sides about an inch back from the front, a baffle made exactly 3/4" bigger then the inside dimension of the cabinet, will fit in (let-in is the term used by carpenters) perfectly and if you cut it near perfectly square, it can be used when clamping to square up the cabinet too. Very cool and very fast.  
 
Cut the speaker hole(s) first of course.
