What happens here

Using a Kreg Jig, drill pocket holes into the designated edges of the plywood pieces for the base cabinet carcasses. Apply wood glue to all mating surfaces (edges that will join) before assembling. Secure the pieces together using pocket hole screws and clamps, ensuring the assembly remains square. The final assembly should consist of two compartments separated by a central divider, with a top and bottom panel.

Goal: Assemble the individual pieces of the base cabinet carcasses using pocket hole joinery for strong and hidden connections. Apply wood glue to all mating surfaces before driving pocket screws.

off [Music] so here's the big idea here I'm going to have two drawers that're going to be roughly 20 in apart from each other if I can reach this here uh that will be enough to fit in the place and then I'm going to sandwich on top through pocket holes uh the top and bottom pieces it will have a bench top to it so I'm going to get like a butcher block I think is the best way to go and then instead of a toe kit cuz that's going to take up too much of the cabinet space I don't want to take away from it all while not making the bench super high so instead what I'm going to do is I'm going to put a 2x4 uh well 2x4 frame on the ground and then secure that frame to the flooring and then secure the carcasses to those 2x4s and it'll be nice sturdy and we'll have the most the most amount of storage space we could possibly squeeze out of this tiny little [Music] Nook
