Ron's RCA T7-5 Cabinet Rescue
#24

Hey Arran

That is a great idea! Icon_thumbup

So this evening, I tried it:

It turned out perfectly, I think. The width of the hacksaw blade was perfect (or nearly so) for the job.

Now all it needs is the black lacquer in the grooves again and it will look "factory".

So let's look at the right side of the cabinet:

That first smaller strip of veneer under the wide groove is very loose. Now I am considering taking it off, just gluing a solid piece of new veneer in place of the strips, and then cutting grooves with the hacksaw again since it turned out so well on the left side.

Arran, thanks very much for the tip!
