Looking good Nick! Are you going to leave the plywood core unfinished or are you going to edge band those? Or are the cores concealed?

I agree with you on the contact cement fumes. Watch out for those vapors, they are extremely flamable, unless you are using the non-flamable type. Back in the 70's I was recovering the kitchen cabinets in my home and the pilot light in the stove caused the vapors to flash over to the piece I was working on and I had a very nasty fire for about 30 seconds till I grabed the fire extinguisher and put it out. The house was filled with soot and smoke. I spent the next several days cleaning up the mess and washing walls.

After that experience I have since used the non-flamable version. It's a lot more costly, but once you experience fire you become a lot more cautious.
