Its a trim piece for the expando on our truck. Carpet covered 3/8" plywood with some dados in it to compensate for screw heads that stick out of the frame. It was caught on a piece and the truck was blown out while it was caught so it just tore this off.
I looked to see if I had any 3/8" plywood and I didn't. Hmm, what to use.
HMM, I had this stick of MDF that was almost perfect. Trimmed it to width and it still had a leftover saw kerf cut in it from a project from years past so what to do. Oh yeah! Cut the wood off, turn it over and glue it back to the main piece, clamp it up.
now I had a piece that was close enough to the right width to sit under carpet on some corner trim. Now I had to make it 3/8" thick. Well thats easy I have 2 or there ways to do that. Then I used a single blade in the table saw walking back and forth and made the dado slots in it.
now at least I have a replacement piece that is longer than the broke off piece so now I can take it there, make a kerf in the wood past the tear and splice in my new piece. I'll update when the install is done and final pics are here.
