Fair enough, but how often does that come into play for the average

This is probably not a fair answer from me but Swingman and I have often
in the past built kitchens together, He would build the face frames in his
shop and I would cut up all the plywood panels. A few years ago I took 27
pieces of oak veneer plywood back to my shop to cut up. When he was done
with the face frames and i was done with the 100+ panels we would get
together at his shop and spend 3 or 4 days assembling all the components
for a kitchen or two. Typically a few weeks later we would install the
cabinets.

LOL ... you can't argue with success, or the topnotch skill and equipment
that allows such precision.

(it's also nice that the tape measures on our saw fences just happen to
coincide!)

Or to simply share with others so they don't have to reinvent
the wheel. If all of the hobbyists shared their drawings it
would be a huge timesaver. To a certain extent that's what the
SketchUp warehouse is all about, though I've not found any
"complete" drawings yet.

The nice thing about a partial drawing is you get to exercise you're
own creativity in completing it.

That can also be done on the computer, but you can be creative in several
different versions. That way you end up with your favorite version and so
to speak not be taking "pot luck" with what you end up with.

Yeppers ... for me, there is a *great* deal of satisfaction in executing a
carefully crafted, well thought out, PLAN.

.... probably because I'm not all that "creative".
