What happens here

Cut 3/4-inch plywood sheets into the necessary pieces for the cabinet sides, top, bottom, and internal dividers. Use a table saw to create dado cuts (grooves) in the panels where shelves or dividers will be inserted, ensuring strong, interlocking joints. Use a pocket hole jig and drill to create pocket holes along the edges of the pieces for screw-based assembly. Apply wood glue to all joints before screwing them together to enhance structural integrity. Ensure all pieces are cut squarely and precisely for a professional look.

Goal: Build the base cabinet boxes from 3/4-inch plywood, incorporating dado cuts for strong joints and pocket holes for assembly.
