What happens here

Once the wooden frame is fully constructed and sturdy, the next step is to cut and install the plywood shelf surfaces. The presenter uses a circular saw outdoors to cut sections of half-inch plywood to the exact dimensions of each shelf level. He then brings the cut plywood pieces into the garage and places them onto the ledger board frames. Each plywood piece is then secured to the underlying wooden frame using a cordless drill and screws. For the upper shelves, a bucket is used as a makeshift step stool to reach the higher positions safely.

Goal: Create and secure the flat surfaces for the shelves.
