89 Cabinet
#1

Here we go, model 89 round two. The radio is electrically restored, but the cabinet needs a little glue, veneer and maybe eventually a refinish.

I've never done any woodwork, so I really have no idea what I'm doing Icon_rolleyes

The grill is missing a patch of veneer. So far I've glued two 1/32 sheets together to match the 1/16, and cut it to the general size with a dremel routing bit. Here's where I am now:

How do I cut it to the exact size? Should I just try to go really slow with the dremel and sand the finished edge? Is it better to glue it down before or after cutting?


Thanks,
Will
