What happens here
After assembling the base cabinets, the next step is to create the tall locker units. These are also constructed from plywood, with internal supports for structural rigidity and to define the locker compartments. Each locker unit is designed to be 48 inches tall (matching the plywood sheet height) and will be 15 inches deep and 17 inches wide. The units are assembled using wood glue and pocket screws, drilled from the backside to hide the hardware, and internal screws are used for additional security. Special attention is paid to ensuring the units are perfectly square for proper door alignment later.
Goal: Build tall locker units to sit atop the base cabinets
