I am restoring an upright and have a cabinet issue. The back right wheel came broken off, and it seems that the front right wheel was forced up breaking the bottom timber. I suspect that I am not the first to attempt repair. I have photos up at http://www.ozemail.com.au/~grieth/piano/bottom_left.jpg http://www.ozemail.com.au/~grieth/piano/bottom_right.jpg http://www.ozemail.com.au/~grieth/piano/bottom_right_inside.jpg http://www.ozemail.com.au/~grieth/piano/bottom_right_inside2.jpg I am thinking of a 5mm steel plate on the bottom (under the piano on the left side to screw up into the intact bottom and the broken piece), but wondering if I should just run a couple of timbers round the inside and screw down into the bottom timber, and accross into the side and back. Maybe both? I would appreciate some suggestions. Regards Grant This message was sent through MyMail http://www.mymail.com.au
