ok, following on from the other thread. The sheet stock has been delivered and with storage being a problem I was going to attempt to get all the parts cut tomorrow and maybe even begin assembly.
I have never cut sheet material before and would like a bit of advice. I have a Circular Saw (B&D) and a cheapy Ferm TS. I bought the TS last year intending to make something, but it scared me and has sat in the box ever since! I also have a perform straight edge guide for the CS.
When designing the cabinet I used a piece of software called Optimik This has given me a cutting plan for the sheets. Designs as follows:

I don't really know where to start. Do I just convert the cutlist onto the board using a pencil and square, then use the straight edge and CS to cut out each part? When marking out should I leave a gap for the thickness of the saw? Should I dare to use the TS? If so, how?
I know i'm asking some very basic questions but I'm worried about messing it up!
Also if anyone out there has sketchup and a little time to cast their beady eye over my plans i'd apprecieate any constructive comments.
