Printers Console Cabinet HELP!

Submitted by Weezie1987 on Sun, 09/28/2014 - 07:35

Hi. I am currently building the Printers Console cabinet as my first project. I'm wondering if I have gone wrong somewhere or is there a typo:

The space for fitting the door/drawers in the frame is  30 1/4inch in height, but the total of the planks that make up the doors come to 36 inch in height. (5 1x2, 5 1x4 and 1 1x6)

Has anyone else working on this project come across this, or have I been looking at it for too long that I've just comvinced myself that I've gone wrong (and that I need to go back to school to resit maths)?! haha!

Please help - it would be much appreciated as I am trying to prove to my boyrfiend that I CAN make this without his help haha! Thanks :)
