Cabinet repairs

Disassembly of the internals





The lower cabinet is stripped completely and as I was cleaning it, I noticed that the bottom timber sections had separated on the left side. So I had to glue, clamp and then staple back together. It took a while, but it had to be done.








All the assemblies are removed and checked to see if there are any damaged or worn parts. If they are good, they are cleaned and thrown in the tumbler








Here is the Chime unit looking a little "furry" !





.. and here it is after a rebuild.





The lower section is fully rebuilt, all I have to do is drop in the baseboard and also the rebuilt door (forgot to take pictures !).
