Precut Parts?

#1 Post by doncolga »

Hey,

I've got a local woodworking shop that may precut cut all my parts so I could assemble. Is that a smart thing to do? I remember reading somewhere in the plans about fitting as you go...

Thanks!

If you're building subs, having the shop rip the inner panels is a real time saver. And you might get away with them cutting the rough sizes of the panels with you having to do angles and the final trimming, but actually cutting them exactly to size is something i'd skip.
