The cabinet work on this set has begun.  Recall that the door to the cabinet had a nasty break where the hinge is located.  Some discussion in the “Now that the weather is changing” thread pointed to replacing the door rather than trying to fix it...so a new door is the approach I’m taking.  The cabinet is being partially disassembled.  Unfortunately the top is glued to the sides and it covers some of the screws to the hinges making it impossible to remove them without taking the top off.  I’m hoping to avoid that although it could be done with some patient application of heat and gentle prying with putty knives.

I did need to retain the trim piece from the original door and it came off with some of that heating and putty knife work.

One of the screw holes for the hinge was in very bad shape and needed to be drilled out and a plug put in. The plug is glued in, chiseled and sanded flat and a new hole drilled.  After a little more sanding the wood will be stained and toned later to match the cabinet.
