What happens here

Apply wood glue to the edges of the plywood panels. Use corner clamps to temporarily hold the pieces square while you secure them. Drive 2-inch brad nails through the adjoining panels to create a strong mechanical connection. Use a square tool to verify that all corners are perfectly square before the glue sets, as this is crucial for smooth-operating drawers later on.

Goal: Assemble the main cabinet carcass by applying wood glue to the edges and securing the panels with brad nails, ensuring everything is square.

What they say

Hide

to use these clamps uh clamp it they're kind of neat they're really cheap and the way they kind of work is you basically prop it in right there they're all specifically made for different sizes like three quarter inch half inch and whatnot all the stuff will be in my links in my description and then what you do is once you throw the glue on you can't win today these kind of hold it in place while you secure it so i'm gonna start throwing some wood glue on there i'm gonna use some brad nail something like two inches long start securing it and i'm gonna use a square to make sure everything's square because we've talked about this before if it's not square your drawer sucks and just foundation that's all that matters
