| This thing looks pretty ugly in the light . . . |
 |
| Well I grabbed the toughest 60 grit sandpaper I could find
and started in. This original artwork is very tough to get off. After 40
minutes it looks like I still have a ways to go. |
 |
| Well here is what the corners look like. In pretty
rough shape. The plywood is splitting lengthwise and the seam where the two ends
meet is seperated. A whole lot of fixing required. |
 |
| This artwork is really tough to get off ! |
 |
| I sanded the bottom and chisled off all the chewing gum.
I start the glueing and cabinet repair here with some trusty pipe clamps and some
scrap lumber. |
 |
| I've started some bondo work at the same time to keep things
rolling forward. I only had about 4 days to work on it so I couldn't dawdle . . . |
 |
| The whole front of the cabinet needed to be put back together
. . . |
 |
| One big side to go and I'm putting that off as long as
possible. Did I tell you how hard that art came off yet . . . |
 |
| While that glue was drying I started on the top. All
the carriage bolts on the whole cabinet were badly rusted so they all got painted. |
 |
| The top sides were in pretty good shape compared to the
cabinet. The corners all needed a little touch up but for the most part not bad at
all . . . |
