What happens here

Assemble the base cabinet carcass using the pre-cut plywood pieces. Apply wood glue to all mating surfaces for added strength. Secure the joints using pocket hole screws, which are made using a Kreg pocket hole jig and a drill/driver. The back panel, typically made from hardboard or thin plywood, is then cut to size using a table saw and attached to the back of the cabinet using a brad nailer. This creates a sturdy and complete base cabinet.

Goal: Construct the sturdy frame of the base cabinet.

Toe kicks in, this is gonna be the bottom. We could just put pocket holes for the bottom and secure it in, but that's not how it's gonna be pretty. And we wanted to hold a lot of weight just for whatever reason. So we're gonna use our data stack, cut in a rabbit slot. So this will sit in there like a Lego piece and give us the most time. Got our dado, got our pieces, cabinet. Let's start assembling. We need more and more finishing touch here. I got way too excited ahead of myself. I forgot to put the part that's actually that connects to the wall of this cabinet. Building cabinets is exciting, huh? So you can get into this new land.
