question about replacing bottom of cabinet?

<< < (2/2)

ChadTower:

You wouldn't have to disassemble the cab... I'd probably jigsaw most of it out, then use a chisel to get the rest out, then replace as it was originally.

Assuming that it's not a Williams, Taito, or one of the many other cabinets that had dados that the bottom fit into. If your going stock replacement on one of these, the floor is bigger in dimension than the inside dimensions of the cabinet.

This is why this thread is useless without pics.

Until pics appear, we're all just talking smack.

Okay, then, jigsaw the piece out, chisel the leftovers, then route out the dado slot...

OH, rainBOWS.  You would have to slightly disassemble the cab in order to put the new piece into the dado slots.

This does beg the question... if you have to go to this level of repair on a cab, does using the exact original method matter?  Sure, maybe the original method would require disassembly, but couldn't you do the repair by gluing/screwing from the outside/support pieces underneath? 

nostrebor:
You could do this repair any of two dozen different ways...

I would be glad to supply one educated answer, based on posted pics.

And Drew blows Goats. ;D
