Here are the cutting diagrams for the sidewalls of the weekender...
It helps to cut the luan sides first, and then make the furring strips match!
All the furring strips were cut from a 1x8, which has a dimensional thickness of 3/4". That's important if you are going to have 3/4" thick insulation in there. True "furring strips" are thinner than 3/4" as Arne learned! The wall and door framing strips are 1 1/2" wide unless otherwise noted.
It's also important to allow enough time to do these walls. All those little furring strips take time. I think I spent a day on each wall. All the cabinet furring strips are 2 1/4".
I trimmed the wall and door furring strips with a laminate trim bit in my router. I used the luan as my template. That's how you get a nice opening with rounded corners for the doorway.
If you have any questions, just ask!

P.S. I don't understand how you plan on using your brad nailer...
I used drywall screws and screwed the furring strips and the luan right to my table. (I removed the screws 24 hours later!)
The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...
