Sam,

Are you still having issues seeing the photos?

To continue, there wasn't much left of the cabinet at this point, but my veneer had arrived. I bought a large sheet of flat cut and cross cut. There were originally some strips of really fancy stuff around the base, but I could only buy it in a large quantity at a high price, so I nixed that. This is a flexible paper-backed veneer stock, and you use contact cement to attach it. You put a good coating on the contacting surfaces, and while the stuff doesn't feel especially sticky to the touch, when they come together, they are together-permanently. This time, I diluted my cement with a special thinner, and that made it all go together much more easily. Already, the cabinet looks a great deal better:

Sad to say it, but the veneer really was all that was holding the cabinet together- a lot more work needs to be done.
