What happens here

After cutting, the cabinet pieces are assembled. The preferred method for joining these pieces is using pocket holes, created with a Kreg Mini jig. This jig allows for drilling angled holes into the edge of one piece, which then connects to the face of another using specialized screws. Wood glue is applied to all mating surfaces before screws are driven in to ensure a strong, durable bond. Throughout the assembly, it's critical to constantly check for squareness, as any deviation will impact the fit within the pantry and the smooth operation of drawers.

Goal: The main cabinet carcass is assembled using pocket holes and wood glue, prioritizing squareness for proper fit and functionality.
