I began the process of trying to un-warp my wood by stacking weights of top of one side and attaching a piece of wood diagonally on the inside of one side to provide more structure:
This is a close up of the piece of wood I attached to the inside of the cabinet. I did so with glue and 1/4" crown staples:
While I waited for the glue to dry, I sanded down the pocket screw fillers I had inserted a couple days ago when I accidentally put the pockets on the wrong side. I also sanded down the rest of the cabinet, making sure that all sides were flush:
I also attached a small piece of wood to one of the cabinet doors with pin nails. This took care of the small gap that was between the two doors:
Finally, I attached a pieces of wood to the bottom of my project to add even more structure and even out the warped wood. This helped a lot, but I also ended up having to add a couple washers in between the hinges on the top right side, and the bottom left side of the cabinet. This resulted in a pretty good looking finished product!
