One can never have enough tools!
It seems that every time I begin some project I eventually buy some new tool or tools. Sometimes I improvise and make a tool myself if I am not in a rush. I prefer not to be rushed at my age. The piece of wood that has the termite damage is on the very bottom and is glued to the part above it that is larger. There is already some separation between it and the wood above and likely it could be removed easily using a spatula carefully. That particular section is pretty much a straight tapered side with the thinnest edge at the very bottom. It could be made by using a belt sander after doing a first pass on a table saw set for a slight angle cut.
I think I will try some sanding on the chassis shelf tomorrow then try perhaps the baking soda paste using very little water. There are lots of tasks to keep me busy.
