Process was: 1. break apart into flat pieces; 2. strip paint primarily using flat scrapers when chemical stripping didn&#039;t work; 3. sand as needed (not much - removing any remaining paint and preparing wood for finish); 4. glue and screw together with brass screws and tacks; 5. apply finish.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is too dark to take a pic of the finished unit now, but I&#039;ll do it tomorrow. Anyway the pics I do have, step 4. gluing, show why repairing furniture the correct way is seldom done: it takes too much time, especially waiting for drying of glue and multiple coats of finish (hide glue and three finish coats in this case); oh and of course it also takes a lot of clamps<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie24" alt=":blackeye:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]368532[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]368533[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
