Good morning all,
any suggestions on repairing the face frame blowout? Considered glueing up the solution in the second photo but then I figure I’ll just end up with a scrap of hardwood floor glued to the face frames.
Thanks

Few people understand it. Nobody agrees what it is, how to learn about it, or who's responsible for it. It has never been more important

Good lord, those screws are gigantic! They look like post-hole augers!
Oh - wait - that's just a big .jpg.
Um - Since the finish is already on, I'll bet glue-squeeze out would clean up quickly. I'd glue and clamp the original wood back with a sheet of waxed paper or poly between it and the clamp block.

Well, when I clamp something like that I always place a couple of layers of wax paper between the clamp block and the workpiece. Probably better still would be a sheet of release paper.
(You would, of course, have to sand and refinish after gluing, regardless.)
Thanks guys. As a framing carpenter, my first instinct was to scab a 2x4 over it...or paint them with Ultra-hide.
My way would have started with "blowing" wood glue into the split then removing the screw. Clamp for 2 hours before removing the clamp.
Next time drill a 1/8" hole as deep as the screw will be. Follow with 3/16 to the width of one style. Install the screw. Maybe lube the screw with soap or wax.
I'll vote with USAnigel.
Shoot in glue, tickle glue in with a toothpick, remove screw, wipe off excess, clamp, maybe with a block and wax paper -- see how it goes.
Hey, that looks like a piffin screw.......
Full depth pilot, clearance hole through 1st stile, beeswax on threads.

yep, thats a drywall screw alright.
he's lucky the screw did'nt break to boot. that'll teach 'em to not drill a pilot hole
Scout's Honor, I did pre-drill. I thought drywall screws were white, to make 'em harder to see?
squirt glue in, remove screw ... hold block and smack it flat.
wipe ... wait ... wax stick.
move on ...

Mini- hijack, with apologies in advance -
Jeff - IIRC, you once posted a note about cutting corian with a circular saw saying in essence, "It's just fancy plastic."
I've got a "cultured marble" top that might be usable in my bathroom, but it's too long. Same advice ? I've never cut the stuff before.

Yup ... I trim cultured marble all the time.
just flip it over and go to town ... cut from the back.
cut edges can be hit with the belt sander than palm sander for a kinda sorta polished edge too ... but I always shoot for burying the cut edge.

Thanks. I can bury the cut. Now I just need to double check the depth.

My thoughts exactly.
But I would use a syringe to shoot the glue in.Lots of junkies around here so theyre plenty..:>)
I hope you didnt just curse me. I'm starting a kitchen in a few weeks and just today was thinking about how i've yet to do that.
Let us know how the repair goes.
Family.....They're always there when they need you.
Aside from all the things you did wrong.......when you run in the screws you do it slowly with a finger or two on the area where the screw might blow out. You feel a bulge coming on you back up quick.

I feel cheated. I clicked on this thread thinking that there would be a link to a great clearance sale on cabinet screws. I want my twenty seconds back!!!
