What happens here
This step involves preparing wood for the custom built-in couch. Use a pocket hole jig and a drill to create pocket holes on the ends of two-by lumber pieces (likely 2x6, 2x4, or 2x8 sized for strength). These holes will allow for strong, concealed joints when assembling the couch frame. The couch is designed with a 10-degree recline for comfort, a 6-inch bottom cushion, and a 4-inch backrest cushion, aiming for a total angle between seat and back of 100-105 degrees.
Goal: Fabricate the wooden components for the custom built-in couch.
