Hi, everyone -- I started a build recently, but I am flustered at which router bit to use for my panels. Can anyone help?
Router bits?

As ever, it depends on what parts you're trying to do with them and what other tools you might have to use. I made my 2005 box using only a table saw, including the beveled edge on the door/wall panels. However... 
If you want to, you'd possibly want a 45 degree bit to do the door panels (knowing that you'll need to chisel out the corners on each side, as per the 2005 box), and you might want a narrow straight bit to do the detail line/recess up the outer face of the corner posts. There are several ways to achieve each piece but if using a router it shouldn't be too hard - just be very very careful, set good guides and wear a good mask!
