What happens here

After all the individual cabinet components are precisely cut and shaped with dado slots, the creator proceeds to assemble the main structure, or carcass, of the cabinet. He applies wood glue generously to all mating surfaces, particularly within the dado joints, to create strong and lasting bonds. The panels are then carefully fitted together, ensuring they align perfectly within the routed slots. To secure the joints further and provide immediate hold while the glue dries, he uses a Ryobi nail gun to fasten the pieces together, followed by driving screws into pre-drilled pocket holes for maximum stability and reinforcement.

Goal: Construct the sturdy main box of the cabinet.

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.
