What happens here

For the bar top, composite boards are joined using pocket hole joinery to create a clean, seamless surface without visible fasteners from the top. The worker uses a speed square and a pencil to mark the drilling locations on the underside of the composite boards. A Kreg Jig or similar pocket-hole jig is then used with a cordless drill to create the angled pocket holes. These holes will later accept self-tapping screws to join the boards. This process is crucial for achieving a smooth, integrated appearance for the bar top.

Goal: Mark and drill pocket holes on the composite boards that will form the bar top, ensuring precise placement for hidden fasteners.

People said it couldn't be done, but you know what? I mean, nobody really said that, but you know, they're probably thinking it.
