Thanks Groom for the pointer, that was SOME thread! I had been thinking of using wood filler or maybe even bondo on the corners, but after reading that thread, bondo it is. I had never used that glazing putty before, I'll try that on the scratches.
That was a a wonderful tutorial on veneering, I've never seen such a thorough yet concise coverage of the topic. Most of them tell you how to do it using expensive specialized tools that the average DIY type won't have at home, yours was very practical and to the point.
I just have one big problem with this refinishing project, I don't want to stop listening to them! Right now I'm rebuilding the power supply for my big tube amp (and I mean big, the pwer supply weight 90 pounds, the main amp is 70 pounds), and my main speakers and that amp were designed together as a unit, they don't work well with anything else. So these Hereseys came around at just the right time, I have something great sounding to listen to while I get the PS rebuilt.
Thanks again,
John S.
