RE: How to remove solid wood trim from a cabinet ?

The trim is off, but I still need to separate the cabinet sides and top/bottom. I am reducing the width of the cabinet by about 6 inches, so Ican afford to lose a bit of material on the top and bottom. I am planning on using a router to take off the lap part of the top joints (1/4 inch thick) and then hopefully carefully separate the sides. I want to maintain the height of the cabinet, so going to have to work slowly on those joints. I can see that they are held by brads, so I may cut through the entire top if it does not release easily, and then move from there. Cutting through should allow me to knock the brads out before trying to release the glue joints.

I know why people usually don't go this route - it takes a lot of time and thought. It will be quite satisfying if I can bring these old beauties back to life!!

Repairing and refitting the Magnificent wood grills is another interesting challenge.....
