The cabinets
were shaky due to the rear horizontal frame rails loosening over time.
The thin panels were also loose within the frames. To repair this, I
used hide glue in the frame's joints and also glued the loose plywood
panels in their grooves. |
 |
Once the hide
glue set up, I removed the clamps and the cases were rigid once again. |
 |
This case had
an interior frame member that was split and was missing part of the
wood. I repaired it by using hide glue to hold the remaining pieces. The
tape is there to act as a clamp until the glue dried. |
 |
Next, I filled
the voids with a wood putty and sanded it smooth once it dried. |
 |
Next step -
staining the repaired area to match. |
 |
Finally, the
interior of both cases were cleaned, a stain was applied, and a coat of
polyurethane finished it off. |
