I felt that it was more likely to fit within my skill set and tool complement. For instance, there's only one "height" adjustment to be made at the router table (for the slot cutter). My inexperience, coupled with a pretty cheesy router table setup, might have made a precision match between the tongue and groove difficult.
Having said that, I think I might go the T & G route the next time.
Bueno.
I saw the chamfers, but it looked like gaps, too, all the way down to the splines. Maybe it was the lighting.

Cut the tenons on a saw, not with a router. Easier & better.
By which you mean the small block of oak and the fingers near the miter saw blade? I guess you're right. I am pretty cautious though, especially as one of my other uses for my fingers is at the piano (a much more advanced skill than woodworking, with better cash-flow too)
The grooves are 7/32 and splines fit snugly (one might say "tightly" on the first door)
What, you didn't make it to that photo ("shaving down splines")? Eight of the 200 people who viewed the finished desk made it all the way through the set.
I'm something of a photo buff too. I've been amusing myself documenting the project. Some of the "dramatic" lighting was courtesy of a couple of reflector work lights.
LUDDITE!
I already did that the last time you mentioned it. But I need to get the computer talking to my Gecko G540 on LPT3 first, then build my CNC router, then make some money...

I'll take an Eiffel Tower then, as big as you can manage. And an alp, if it's not too much bother.
So what do you use the umbrella for? (seriously) Portraits? Pics of your work? Rain? Are CFLs reasonable color-wise these days? Or at least correctable in some way? Aren't there spikes in the spectrum, or am I dealing with old information (and old brain cells to hold it in) ?
The only purpose of umbrellas (for lighting) is to increase the size of the light source relative to the subject; doing so results in softer, more diffuse shadows and highlights.
Any fluorescent, CFL or not, is deficient in red.
They are equal in base 27.
That is, if 42 is in base 27. 110 is actually 42 in base 36. Who woulda thought?
While modern systems no longer _include_ parallel ports, they certainly can _use_ them, if you can find an appropriate peripheral adapter.
For example, here's a USB parallel cable from amazon for less than USD10.
