<div dir="auto">Thanks Ken, Bob R, and Bob P. I can't really
afford to hire a welder, so I will probably go the JB Weld

When I need help with something like this, I usually consult
with Jeff at A-Line. He’s the only one I know at figuring out
the best way to fix things and knows bandsaws like the back of
his hand.

Good luck 👍 <br>
