Chopping off a control panel from a Cocktail?
(1/4) > >>

OK, it's time to get creative.  I have a 3 sided cocktail that I want to redo.  I hate the third side and I just want to make it a head to head machine.  Any crazy ideas on how to chop off the CP and cover the hole AND make it look all nice and finished?

I'm thinking I'll use a saw to cut off the side and bottom panel and then a lot of painful sanding to get it level.  The only thing I can come up with to cover the hole is some sort of thin wood panel - maybe laminated black - like 1/8" or something and then just glue it in place.  It should kind of blend in to the rest of the cabinet since it is blue with black t-molding and controls.

Agreed! You won't be able to patch it without it looking like a patch job. You should go the other direction and design some artwork to go over the hole.
