Project - "A new Cape Cod Style Vanity"

I spent so much time talking about the new shop, that I neglected to say that there was also an addition with a new bathroom and bedroom — and other projects to keep me busy.    So this picture marks the beginning of a new project: a "Cape Cod Style Vanity." I have a space 6 feet wide and a sink — no plans yet, but I want to make this very similar to the sideboard that I completed several months ago.
	I don't have plans, per se, but know in my head what I want to do, and I can work out some of the details (drawers, doors, top) as I go.    In the picture above, I decided that I could have a counter depth of 27 inches. That would give the basin some nice room in front and to the rear of it.    I am ripping the sheet of birch ply to 24". This is, of course, economical use of the sheet but also works out well for the 27 inch dimension. I figure, 24 inches, plus 3/4" for the face frame, and then the counter can have a 2¼" overhang.
I am measuring to crosscut the sheet 70" for the top and bottom. I know that I said that I have a 72" space, but the walls aren't plastered yet, and that 72" might change a bit. I will make the front face frame 72" wide with the expectation of scribing the two ends to fit — the same with the top which I am going to make from mahogany. I will also be making the cabinet total height 34" — a few inches higher than normal, because I am higher than normal.
	I use a trim saw with the guide clamp to make this cross cut. Cross cutting an 8-foot length on the table saw is difficult — this is easy, fast, accurate and safe.
I have centered the template for the sink on one of the 70" boards and am now cutting out the opening that is required.
	I install my new dado set. I will make some tests with the cutter and shim combination. I want to have tight dados on this 3/4" stock.
I got lucky on the first try. This 3/4" ply is 3/4" thick. It doesn't always work that way. I have added the sacrificial fence and am now rabbeting the four sides of the cabinet to accept the back.
	I am ready to start assembling the case. I will use glue and finishing nails.
The speed square helps me keep the panel vertical as I toenail this piece with 1½" finishing nails.
	It's going together nicely, so far.
I didn't build the kick space into the case but opted to make a 2" X  4" base frame. I am using 8d nails to toenail the members to the back piece.
