Hi Ian,
The cabinet is constructed from veneered blockboard which is 21mm thick. That figure is used in all the parts of the cabinet.
The repair was easy. All that was required was a piece of wood which was 2mm thinner than the original, glue it into place and finally trim back the surrounding outer 1mm veneer and then glue in a new piece to make a smooth surface. The veneer piece overlaps the joints and adds some extra strength to the repair.
A 45 degree mitre cut was made to allow the new part to come into contact with side part.
The surface will be veneered later along with rest of the cabinet that needs refinishing. Actually, three quarters out venner is still in good condition

DFWB.
