Steps:
1. Cut the old shelf in half with the circular saw and remove it from the cabinet.
2. Cut a piece of MDF to fit the cabinet by using the old shelf as a template. Paint as desired and let dry.
3. Drill for the hinges and install the shelf using brackets. Use the router to make some holes to fit if needed.
4. Re-install the door using the existing hardware.
