BUILDING A MURPHY BED

What happens here

Due to a miscalculation or unexpected hardware requirement, the cabinet carcass needs to be made shallower. Unscrew the pocket hole screws securing the bottom front edge of the cabinet. Use a circular saw to carefully cut a precise amount off the bottom of the cabinet side panels to achieve the correct depth. Reattach the removed section using pocket hole screws, ensuring it is flush with the new, reduced depth. The presenter mentions that this step was necessary because the original instructions assumed the hardware was installed first, which he did not do.

Goal: Adjust the cabinet carcass depth to properly accommodate the bed platform, as an initial measurement error caused the bed to not fit flush.
