Acceptable offer on the broken Uberkab?

[facefirst]

Titebond is the way to go. I’m a hobbyist woodworker and always have a ton of it on hand.

Titebond III is the glue I’d use for this seam.

Thanks

I'll probably order that and the clamps today and get it going soon

Seriously, ratchet straps will work better in this case.

100% agree. I’d use 2, one on each side of the cab.

I wish I had gotten one more clamp for the middle of the cabinet but it seems to have lined right back up. I'm going to let it sit for a full 24 hours although I want to plug it in right now.








And some close ups

I may also get a couple of headless nails to tap in and hold it a little better or maybe drill a hole and get some type of screw in there.

That looks great! I won’t say you should or shouldn’t add some type of nails or screws. My thoughts are more that the cab was pretty much held together glued wood joints (possibly dove tailed) to begin with so it probably won’t need much more than that.

Well my friend came over to sell me that E2 I got and he took a look at the cab, he does some woodworking. He noticed that there are actually staples in the joints as well.

We actually cut one of them out that was in the way so he mentioned tapping a couple of headless nails to act as the missing staple.

Good to know then. Then yeah a few extra things won’t hurt.
