Recently got Tron. Everything is in great shape except to issues. the back corner is swelled up. You can see in the following pics. How would you guys tackle that repair?

The second issue is the pieces in the back were pulling apart from the sides. once again how can this be fixed. Any advice is appreciated.

For the swollen corner I would cut the corner completely out and replace with new wood. Lay the cab on it's side and use a router to remove the material without damaging the the bottom and back panels. Then graft in a new piece using some biscuits or dowels.

As for the back, I would get a big clamp to push the cabinet back where it needs to be and and then screw a piece of 1x1 on the inside corner to pull the two pieces back together. You could also use some wood glue for good measure.

Hope that helps
