Hey EB forum. New here... just discovered this awesome forum. I'm a photographer looking to get back into producing large prints again and my search for flat files lead me here. Great resource.
So, I have a medium 35x47 flat file that has a bent bottom support bar. As you can see in the photos, this affects all of the drawers. For now it's not the end of the world but, something I would like to address in the future.
I've considered screwing the bottom bar to my birch plywood base but the plywood is flexing. Not sure if that will work. Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe I could just remove al together?
BTW, I'm working on a birch plywood top right now that will serve as a top and hold prints. More images soon!
Thanks everyone!

Should be able too. Take the bottom drawer out and hit it with a hammer.
