I had a chance to work on the TD this week, so I decided to tackle something that's been bugging me. whoever tried to repair the doors decades ago thought that brazing the brass hinges to the body would be a good idea. instead, they turned the body wood (which provides the strength to hold the doors up) into charcoal. and the doors became flimsy again soon after.
 |
| Here you can see I cut the bead where they brazed the hinges to the body. |
 |
| after much cutting, I was finally able to wiggle the door till it came off. |
 |
| This is what the body looks like now. I'll have to clean it up a bit so the new hinges will fit and weld where I cut through the steel. You can see on the top one the charcoal that used to be the body wood. |
