Big problem and cabinet is almost finished!!

<< < (3/6) > >>

Mr. Dude:
I would just cut a peice of the front part off like suggested. You could use various tools to do this, it's just a matter of personal preferance.  I had to shorten some supports and I just used a small hand saw and cut it back to my first screw point.  Then I used a screw driver and hammer to loosen it.  There was no damage to the wood underneath.  You may need to just sand the underneath part a bit to remove any glue left on and then reprime that area.

dvdapex:
In order to remove the screw, could you use a dremel and create a channel around where the screw comes out?  If you could do it wide and deep enought (it really shouldn't take much), you could use a pliers and turn the screw in the opposite direction to push it back out from where it entered.

I'm guessing if you did that just a little bit, it would immediately show you were the screw entered.  You clean up that area (remove the putty) and you should be able to remove the screw the "normal" way.

DennisInMN:
I took a look at my cab and I have my support piece placed back further from the front edge of the side piece.  So it appears that I don't have this problem.

On a side note, stupid FedEx.  I signed a release a while ago and they still did not leave my packages.  This is the second time I have had to call them up to let them know that I have in fact signed a release.  Oh well, just had to vent.  I should be getting my bezel, marquee retainer and a couple other items tonight.  Yeah!

Good luck sofakng.

One word of advice, always screw from the inside of the cab and avoid making holes in the side fo the cab.  Holes on the inside don't need to be filled with filler and can be quickly accessed in the future when needed.

sofakng:
Thanks for all the helpful replies!

I can remove all the boards ABOVE that support without any problem so I can use a handsaw, flush cut saw, etc.  That's probably what I'll end up using.

As for prying the piece of wood off of the side, thats another story.  I can use a screwdriver and hammer to try getting it off, but wouldn't that damage the wood underneath?

Can I put something on on the sides of the support to dissolve the glue?  That would be ideal but I'm afraid nothing like that exists...
