    Hi, ceilingfanrepair!

    Unfortunately, other than the Crafts forum topic area, Furniture is about as close as we get here to post things concerning woodworking and carpentry. Might be room for one or two more topic areas...

    My first thought on the removal of the adheasive substances would be to use heat, like from a heat gun, to make them softer so that a very sharp wood chisel could be used to cut and scrape or maybe use a single edge razor blade for cutting. Softening them should also help with the removal of any wood pieces that are joined together by them.

    Thanks!

    AND it has cable. If you are anywhere near Madison, WI, you can come use it, although I've gotten it pretty well full. The whole space is double, I share it with a guy who restores vintage cars.

    Yeah, I've gotten all the wood removed. Now I just need to remove all the glue residue, as well as strip and refinish the cabinet, and 3 other cabinets like it.

    Buying enough 1 gallon jugs of zip strip or the like will cost way too much, I am hoping someone sells it in bulk.
