What happens here

Using a track saw for initial cuts and then a table saw, carefully cut a full sheet of 3/4 inch maple plywood into all the necessary components for the pull-out organizer. The pieces include the main base, side walls, and smaller shelves. The creator emphasizes that measurements are custom to his cabinet, so exact dimensions are not provided. He also mentions making dado cuts (which he calls 'rabbit cuts' then corrects to 'dado cuts') along the inside of the side walls to accommodate 1/4 inch underlayment for the upper shelves, making them lighter and easier to slide.

Goal: Cut the 3/4 inch maple plywood into precise pieces for the organizer's base, sides, and shelves, customizing dimensions to fit the specific cabinet.

going [Music] there. All [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] right, got all of our pieces cut here. Got our sides, got our shelves. Everything's good. 4 in deep. I've made everything custom to the width of my personal cabinet, so it doesn't make sense to blurt out what the measurements are. Besides, it's boring. Now, I laid out where the pocket holes are going to go. I'm going to bust them out real quick. The only other fancy thing we're going to do is we're going to put a rabbit cut down below or a dado cut specifically mentioned. And what that'll do is it'll allow for us to use quarter-inch underllayment to slide in for the upper shelves for the bottom so it's not too heavy. If you're a beginner builder, you could just use the same 3/4 in just pocket hole that thing on top. It's just a little bit added support. That's all it is. [Music]
