"Kentucky Chrome" ; Cold Weld on a Hot Day
#7
Some skilled-trade guys at work used to refer to duct-tape as "Kentucky Chrome"...

In that spirit, here is a J-B Weld repair of a casting that has been overly "stress-relieved" (cracked).   I chain-drilled 2 slots, and epoxied-in 2 pieces of aluminum for strength.  It seems like it's going to be a workable repair for my "ugly tools" department:

George Nakashima would have suggested you do that aluminum in a butterfly shape:

Nice patch. Who cares what it looks like as long as it makes wood shavings.
