Do one side first, then clamp it on 2nd board for cutting or clamp both boards and cut both sides at same time ?

I'd cut one and get it perfect and then use a router and pattern cutting bit to make an exact copy or you can do what I did and get 1/4" plywood and make a pattern and se it to cut both sides.  The next time I make a cabinet I'll be ready to go!

MDF is actually better for templates than plywood for exactly that reason. (1/2" rather than 3/4", of course.)
