Thank you, appreciate the tips. Checking for types of wood and suitability for stain/paint is an important part of the process . Groove, dado or a rabbet would be challenging with a jig saw hence contemplating a good ol’ fashion direct drill and pocket holes, or maybe holes and dowels or a 3 in 1 housing bold and nut . Tho drawers are a pain! Jigs tend to make hinges error free, and maybe a couple of dowel to make the bottle holders for the doors. Thanks!

Your welcome. Yes the dados and rabbets are impossible with a jig saw. However, I have been thinking of your situation. They do have smaller circular saws that may work for you. They would be easier to manage in the beginning and later would be very handy to have. Maybe 4 1/2” blade. Some are cordless. I think the trick would be getting a good quality blade. Blades always make the difference. I think you could very carefully nibble out the rabbet with the saw and a good straight edge.
I have to more videos shot answering the rest of your questions.
