What happens here

Assemble the main cabinet structure by joining the plywood panels. Apply wood glue to all mating surfaces before securing them with 1 1/4-inch brad nails using a brad nailer. Carefully measure and install internal shelves to accommodate specific office equipment like an internet router, USB microphone, and a smart light hub. Ensure all glue squeeze-out is wiped away immediately with a damp rag to save time on sanding later.

Goal: Construct the main body of the cabinet with internal shelving.
