I love using 3DS Max to model these things before I even pick up a single tool – it makes doing the real work that much easier (and enjoyable).

Basic stuff here… 1/2″ plywood for the main carcass. And I ripped down some pine into 1×2’s and 1×3’s for the face frame, putting it together with pocket screws first, then tacking it to the front of the piece.
