What happens here

Using a large sheet of plywood, cut the main components for the base cabinet carcass. A track saw is used for breaking down the large sheet into manageable pieces, ensuring straight and accurate initial cuts. Subsequently, a table saw is utilized for all final, precise cuts to achieve the exact dimensions required for the cabinet sides, top, bottom, and toe kick. The cabinet will be 21 inches wide, 13 inches deep, and 34.5 inches tall, fitting the standard kitchen cabinet height.

Goal: Prepare all plywood pieces for the base cabinet construction.

Let's start working on the cabinet. And this is gonna be probably the smallest cabinet I've ever built. It's gonna be only 21 inches wide, 13 inches deep, and 34 and a half inches tall, which is your typical standard cabinets for the kitchen. So to hit right into the nook and half a couple of filler pieces on the side, let's break the big piece down here. Do all of our final cuts on our table saw and start assembling this thing. Ah! Oh, I broke it. So I have like, I have an inch in there. This might be my biggest one. This is the basic components of our cabinet carcass. We gotta do before it's our assembling is, we gotta do a toe kick so you don't step your toe against it. It's annoying you can't lean over the countertop. Three and a half inches tall, three inches deep. Toe kicks in, this is gonna be the bottom.
