I've a new project. This is the door to our cabinet. The thing fell apart. I have to scrape out the glue, find some wood glue, and find some 3/4" finishing nails. Pulling out the rusted nails, I didn't think it would be that difficult.
First I looked up how to remove the glue. The piece has been glued previously. I tried all their suggestions: hair dryer to soften it, for example. It is old glue. I ended up scraping it off with the tool I use to put meds on JB's sore neck.
I found six 1" nails, but they won't go into the wood. They are too long.
There is a piece missing here. The tongue and groove-style is simple. I don't know how to fix it.
Any ideas?

Maybe this is a job that you have to outsource?

As that is the inside of the door, Jenn, I would be inclined simply to brace it with a mending plate YAM xx
...you sure are the fix it gal.
I am not good at fixing.
I think I might cry "uncle"!
You tackle everything!
I like to try and fix things, but sometimes broken is broken, especially if there's a missing piece.
I'm out of my depth on this one.
try buying a whole new cabinet maybe? You are the best at any DIY, but this looks a tad difficult. Hope the rest of your day goes a whole lot netter.
You got a lot further than I ever would so no help from here.
I wish I could send Art your way to help. He likes these projects.
