What happens here

Following the same method as the base cabinets, assemble the upper cabinet carcasses using pocket holes, screws, and wood glue. For the corner unit, build it to allow for a 'kicked out' top and bottom, incorporating a full filler piece in the back to avoid an exposed corner. For longer spans, add internal dividers for structural reinforcement to prevent sagging. Carefully lift the assembled upper cabinets and place them onto the installed base cabinets. Secure them to the wall studs using screws, ensuring proper alignment with the base units and overall levelness.

Goal: Construct the upper cabinet carcasses, including a corner unit, using pocket hole joinery, then lift and secure them onto the installed base cabinets.

and then we'll start building the towers i'm gonna take a cut here this is my 13 inches deep of a locker and then this comes at 21 inches so essentially this will be a corner corner cabinet i'm going to use a little bit of table saw and then finish off the cornering part with a detailed uh recipe saw that should be well not every sip song we're not demo anything scroll saw or jigsaw i can't think straight i'm sorry a little pro tip when you're using like a circular saw or anything like that on a cross cut on plywood lay down some tape on both sides therefore that will prevent the tear out and go nice and slow because this is a corner cabinet i don't like that it's going to be exposed decided i'm going to kick the top and bottom part out and just put a full filler piece in the back that way this angle will be one solid piece all that's left for cabinets at least the carcasses is the top parts [Applause] [Music] i did put a divider down the middle reason why this is too much of a span that things will start sagging down just a strong rainforest i'm going to take the top cabinets down now that i know everything fits and we're going to install the bench top that's going to go on top here i figured out what i want to
