Groop,
This is to update the screen I repaired.
First I reglued the joints on the styles and rails.
Then I took Frank's recommendation, but instead of
skewers I used 2- 3/16" dowel pins at each joint.
Then, Alan Noel recommended screws in the back panel.
There was only about 1/4 inch clearance for the screws.
Then on the center panel, I cut a larger piece of
1/4" oak plywood and screwed it to the styles and rails.
Then I touched up the color on the dowels.
All total it took 3 1/2 hours of labor plus materials.
Repair charge of $250.00.
