What happens here
Assemble the cut plywood pieces to form the custom range hood cover. Use wood glue along all mating edges for a strong bond. Secure the pieces together with pocket screws using a pocket-hole jig (e.g., Kreg Foreman). Ensure all joints are tight and flush. Once assembled, sand the entire exterior surface of the hood cover with an orbital sander (e.g., Festool ETS 150/3 EQ) to achieve a smooth finish, removing any rough edges or imperfections.
Goal: Construct and prepare the custom range hood cover for mounting.
