I know I'm going to have to work on the leg on the left a bit yet......apparently the bottom board is cracked and didn't see it until weight was put on it. Again, I'm lucky it's still useable.

@Larimar Did it get dropped in transport?

abusive ex threw it down steel staircase from a house on stilts. Broke my heart.

@Larimar I'm so sorry!

I'm also glad you're having the best revenge by being able to fix it yourself.

I won, I'm still alive and happy!

that would have helped wouldn't it? No, I didn't but there was nothing on the left side as far as legs on the thing

@Larimar By the way you have it clamped, it looks as though both the corner of that bottom board and the leg broke off.

The trim at the bottom was pulled loose. Didn't notice it at first. Put a brad through after gluing and clamping.

anvils? You mean the vises in the background? You should see my Dad's garage...60x80' building full. 3 welders of which I know how to use, a lift, everything. My son and I are going to have to go empty it and haul the contents that we can manage here. Dad easily had half a million or more in tools. We like our tools. I have my grandfather's carving tools and used them on this.

@Larimar Oh, the legs upside down look like anvils. Me bad.

Is that what you call them? & an awfully personal question.
