Attach both of your sides to the 1x3/bottom support using 1 1/4" pocket holes screws.
Attach the bottom shelf to the two sides, making sure it's flush on the front and sides. Use 1 1/4" pocket hole screws.
Attach the top of your console using 1 1/4" pocket hole screws. The back should be flush. The sides and the front should over hang 3/4".
Lay two 1x8" boards cut to 15.5" long and a 1x6" board cut to 15.5" above them with 1x2"s cut to 15.5" long in between each board to create your "drawer like" cabinet doors. Glue and nail 2 - 1x3" to the back of the planked boards to hold your door together.
Attach the cabinet doors to the sides using euro hinges. Make sure to leave an even gap around the sides of the doors.
Install your side inserts using 1 1/4" pocket hole screws. Make sure to line up against the cabinet door with just a small gap so that the door closes completely. Repeat this step on the other side as well. The Kreg clamp comes in really handy for this step. It's very important to keep your sides level and flush.
Using finishing nails, nail the 1x4" across the bottom of the cabinet to trim it out. We ripped our 1x4" down slightly for a perfect fit.
We added veneer tape to all the exposed plywood edges using the instructions included with the tape. This will get rid of those ugly plywood edges.
Using the 3/4" setting on your Kreg Jig, make 4-5 pocket holes in the top of your sides as well as 4-5 pocket holes in the bottom and top shelves. Make 4 holes total on the middle inserts as well.
Cut backer board to fit the back of the cabinet and nail in place using a nail gun.
