What happens here

Using a Kreg pocket hole jig, drill pocket holes along the edges of the plywood pieces that will form the side and bottom panels of the cabinet. Apply wood glue to the joining edges. Secure the panels together with pocket hole screws to create a strong, stable box structure for the cabinet carcass. The presenter uses 'Clamp-It Clips' from Rockler to hold the pieces in place during assembly.

Goal: Drill pocket holes into the plywood panels and assemble the main cabinet carcass using pocket hole screws and wood glue.
