I bought this cabinet in June and have steadily been working through stripping it down, removing paint and fixing the bottom of the cabinet.

Using a combination of packing tape stick and lift, then 91% isopropyl alcohol and magic erasers as shown in the video below.

Lots of rust on the metal parts to contend with, but I am concentrating on making the cabinet solid to start.

Fabricated a new back panel, overkill on wood glue and the brad nailer to make sure it stays in. The previous one made of MDF was bloated out so other than using it as a template was end of life.
