Taking It All Apart

Most of my joints were loose and all held together with hide glue.  Using vinegar I tried to loosen up the existing glue by getting it into the joints for 10-15 minutes.  Then I used A rubber mallet to pop the joints apart. They came apart very easily.

The bottom shelf fell off....


after I removed these screws from the underside.  I am not sure these are original.



Dowel installed in each cover off bottom shelf


Left side panel removed







I took alot of pictures so I would know how it goes back together



I even removed two of the legs


I finished by removing all the metal
parts.

The entire disassembly took about 3 hours.
