Thanks Arran, I should be able to knock something up... the cabinet might be a more difficult proposition... I'm starting to understand the paint job now...

[Image: http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff222...rhlqwg.jpg]

Damaged, doweled and glued, filled, and then painted. There is another spot similar near the top on the other side... something was dropped on it, or it was dropped on its head. This break is right at the end of the top brace...

Sigh... woodwork... not my forté. I'll start a cabinet restoration thread because I will need all the help I can get with this one...
There are no personal problems that can't be overcome with the liberal application of high explosives
