3.Rout out a slot. To repair damage such as that shown in Figure 34, rout out a rounded-end slot that’s longer and wider than the damaged area (See Fig. 35). Set your depth-of-cut to be only as deep as the damaged wood. If you’re repairing a surface defect on a veneer, cut only to the depth of the veneer.

cabinet door.

Figure 35. Rout a slot to remove the

damaged area.

4.Make the plug. Tape a piece of tracing paper over the slot and pencil an out- line about 1/16" larger all around than the slot to allow for sanding your plug to size. Transfer the outline to a piece of the same species of wood. Try to match the wood grain as closely as possible.

Cut out your plug with your Scroll Saw or Bandsaw. If your slot has to go all the way through your wood (as in the

case of our thin panel cabinet door), you can turn the damaged piece over and use a pencil to trace around the outline directly onto your workpiece . . . rather than using the tracing paper approach. As with the tracing approach, you should cut your plug about 1/16" larger than your routed slot.

5:Sand the plug to size. Use a Disc Sander to sand around the edges of the plug with your MARK V Worktable tilted to about a 2° angle so it will be tapered slightly and smaller at the bot- tom than it is at the top. Start by sand- ing it to within about 1/64" of your pen- cil line. Be careful! If you sand it too far, you’ll have to make the plug over again (See Fig. 36).

Figure 36. Cut and sand a plug to fit.

Stop frequently and test the plug for size to see if it fits. Continue sanding the edges of the plug until it drops into the opening and its top surface rests flush with the surface of the item you’re repairing.

6.Install and finish the plug. Glue the plug into position. If necessary, use glue or plastic wood to fill in any voids on the backside of your restored item left by the plug’s taper. Use a test stick method to stain or finish the plug until it matches the original item perfectly.
