Correcting A Mistake

In my prior post I mentioned a mistake where I attached 3/4" trim instead of the desired 1/2" trim.  This caused the capping of a dado slot.  That slot is what I would use to, later, slide the coin drop backboard in.  By capping the top of it I will not be able to do that.  The two pictures below show the capped slot and the design indicating how the trim should have been.



To fix this I decided to just extent the slot into the trim.  When the top board was installed there would be a small hole on either side.  Since this will be on the top of the cabinet and not typically seen, I was not too worried about my corrective action.  I could just present it as ventilation if anyone were to ask.  :)

To cut the slot I clamped a straight edge along the existing dado and carefully made 2 cuts.  I then pieced out the rest with a chisel.
