What happens here
Based on your detailed design, precisely cut the selected weather-resistant wood to size for the cabinet's main frame, side panels, front panel, and back panel. Assemble the primary structural frame of the cabinet using strong joinery techniques such as pocket screws, dado joints, or biscuits, reinforcing all connections with waterproof wood glue. Attach the side, front, and back panels securely to the frame, ensuring all seams are tight and flush for optimal weather resistance. If you plan to make the cabinet portable, reinforce the bottom frame section as needed and attach the heavy-duty locking casters in each corner or at appropriate load-bearing points.
Goal: Assemble the main wooden housing for the TV lift mechanism and TV.
