Also, I like to keep my stock at a moisture content corresponding to the

That makes sense except what if your stuff will be in air conditioned
home? If your shop is 100*° and humid, and the cabinets are installed in
72° dry, air conditioned house, then what?

You do what ANY knowledgeable woodworker should do ... you take into
account the dimensional instability of your project material when
deciding upon your joinery techniques for that particular project.

Amazing how that ALWAYS works, regardless of the regional climate,
indoor or outdoors ...


My shop is my garage, which is in the basement of a split level.
It gets "air conditioned" indirectly just from being mostly insulated
and going in and out of the door between the house and garage.

I have to be very careful not to open the garage (car) door when it gets
as hot and humid as it's been this summer. Last time, I got surface rust
on every exposed metal surface.
