The best tool I know of for that type of project would be a checkbook. :)
Plinth building tools?
I have no woodworking experience, but I would like to have a go at building a plinth for a Technics SP-10 I just received. I am planning on building it from layers of 3/4" birch ply, and I can have the lumber yard make the rough cuts, but what tool(s) would be best for a newbie to use to make the cut-outs?
