    What tools would be required to make this cabinet? The extent of my tools is hammers, screwdrivers, and socket sets.
    I have not lost my mind. I have it backed up on disk somewhere...

    ya can meke a nice cabinet with a skill saw and a good drill/screw gun, drill bits etc.. (table saw would help, but not required)

    to make the one pictures hear, ya would probably need a jig saw and a router as well..

    Ken, I've looked at the plans for this cabinet and it indicates that you need to moisten the hopper ramp in order to warp it. How wet do you have to make it in order for it to warp correctly?

    i mad a very quick look threw this thread.. i don't see anything about wetting the wood..

    if your needing to bend some wood the only way to do it with control is to steam it.. its not about the water content its about the heat and water to soften the wood.. then you can bend it clap it and let it cool and dry..

    my advice would be to use thin plywoods 1/8 inch ply bends easy.. if you require thicker materials then ya can glue and clamp many layers together and let that dry with allot less work then steaming..

    i have used 1/8 inch lauan with great success my self.. If ya cant find lauan try searching for a "door skin"
