The plans are adequate and fair value for the cost. I would advise that you read the plans very carefully prior to beginning building. I added notes for my self to aid the construction and to minimize the potential for wasting materials. I changed the design a little in order to match existing mission style furniture. I found that it was much easier to use biscuits instead of a spline in joining large sections. I put a thin bead of clear silicone on the inside of the frame before inserting the glass panel. This helps with the overall strength of the door and prevent any rattling. The cove molding on the top has a slope angle of 45 degrees, therefore your miter angle should be 16.3 with a blade tilt of 15.7. This should give you a perfect joint. This turned out to be a fun and challenging project- have fun.

I was surprised to find that this was a photocopy of a magazine article. Pretty disappointing!
