Step 3Sawing For A Long, Long Time....
I needed to cut the decorative piece in half. I could have removed the whole thing with a screwdriver but for two reasons:
1. I liked the look of it; no reason to remove it completely.
2. I thought that it would lend a little more stability to the side with the (heavy) drawers in it.
I decided to cut it off at an angle. The space that would be taken up by my chair left precious little room and I didn't want to cut my feet against a sharpened, wooden edge every time I got up (my free-flowing blood being reserved for the construction project, not the aftermath). If I had had the handle for my saw blade, this would have come out a lot cleaner, not to mention straighter.
I've also removed the tracks from one side so far.
