Cut a Cabinet in half
I need info on a woodworker or handyman who is skilled enough to cut a cabinet in half.
The cabinet is a 18" square box with lift-off lid and 3/4" thick (all surfaces). It also has some decorative trim on the bottom.
I want to end up with 2 identical 18"x18"x9" cabinets.

Without seeing your specific cabinets... this is a stupid way to make a cabinet.
It is much easier/more skillful to make two new cabinets.

I totally agree, especially if it's stained. It'll cost you much more than 2 new cabinets, and won't be well done.

Let me say this to the two "guests." Thanks, but no thanks for your comments. I didn't ask for your opinion as to what I should do. If you cannot offer an recommendation, then past this request by.
2:39pm: "this is a stupid way to make a cabinet." Nowhere did I state I wanted a cabinet made. I already own it. Thus it will less expensive to modify it, then to have two made.
Learn to read.

Actually, Sandy, maybe it's you who should learn to interpret. "Make a cabinet" in context stands for "obtain a new (and that's "new" as in "not previously existing") cabinet" which is exactly what you want to do.
Personally I agree with them...with trim, it would be hard and/or expensive to create two matching sides.
If you don't want opinion along with dubious facts and snarky comments, a public blog is not the place ;).

Nobody cares if you agree about expense or difficultly of the request.
Since I do know how to interpret enough to know that none of you answered my question and it's quite apparent you are neither woodworkers nor handy, thanks for nothing.

This is hilarious.
I'm 2:39, I have been a metal fabricator for almost twenty years, and I have spent a lot of years in woodshops.
I was sitting here thinking about writing a post apologizing for using the word stupid, and explaining to you exactly why nobody is going to take that job.
But I think I would rather have a good laugh at the haughty ignorance you have on display here, Ms. Sandy.
Have fun trying to find someone "skilled enough" to cut your cabinet in half...

I'm 4:38, and a woodworker for 30 years...but I wouldn't take on your job...ever. No way it could turn out to my standards. Even if I was hungry, I wouldn't work for a biatch like you.
