[QUOTE="tgm1024, post: 2296422, member: 15428"]Online I see mixed answers to questions similar to mine. I have this old hand plow/cultivator that's been in my family for years. It has a cracked limb in it. It would be an easy repair (I've repaired things before), but will show two screws on the underside. Here is the hand cultivator: [ATTACH=full]258312[/ATTACH] It's the closest bracket that has cracked the end of the forelimb. So I'm concerned....Should I keep as is, or do a simple repair with predrilled screws / high quality low-visibility wood glue or epoxy? I'm only listing it for ~$100 (suggested by a friend), so it's not the end of the world. Note: I can't repair it strong enough for actual use, because this would require the tightening one of the ancient square nuts, which would be a diaster in appearances to replace.[/QUOTE]
