[TheForge] Welding cast iron

[Washington, Aubrey O.]

Tod,
 
I liked your suggestion of forging a replacement part for the post drill and then also attempting a repair on the broken part.  That way I'll double my chances of having a working drill.  From a purely historical perspective, I like the idea of keeping the original part with the drill, even if it has been repaired several times.  But I don't have a problem with using a replacement part on a daily basis while saving the original in a safe place.
