Great design. You've got my vote. I'd like plans too (no intention to ever do more than 1 for myself). Bob watson xtra co nz. Cheers.

This reminds me of an old carpenter's trick. He showed me how he used short lengths of bamboo skewers (the kind used for kebabs) to fill the misplaced screw holes much like your method with dowels. Of course this wasn't for fine furniture, but very quick and effective. The hinge hides any unsightliness.
