Re: Need advice in dealing w/ woodworkers/cab builders All I have to say, having been through a rough time trying to find a decent cabinet builder, is that you should beware! It seems very difficult to get a responsible cabinet guy who will do a good job and do it in any sort of timely fashion. The good ones charge a lot, but if you can find one, they are worth it. You can waste a lot of time and money on the wrong guy, believe me.     Your $125 for four pieces of wood sounds way excessive, to me, particularly if the job is done poorly as you say. You can get an entire cabinet made, tolex covered and all, for a bit more than twice that. Three dovetails in an 11" board is wrong. Next time you may want to ask for finger-joints instead of dovetails, and I'd definitely shop around for another cabinet guy.     Randall Aiken
