very presidential
well, we had a couple chuckles today .. we finished this repair and i was taking a quick record photo and caught jim in the 'dollar bill' pose. lookin' good in there, don't ya think? anyway, the orange lines in the photo denote all the places this piece was broken when we picked it up .. it is a family heirloom that was standing quietly in the owners' garage just after arrival, when the arm thing on the top of the automatic garage door just nicked the top and tipped it over on its face as it was closing. small disaster .. all better now. click the photos to enlarge them ..

it took a few clamps and a bit of fussy work to get everything lined back up and reglued. it also required some imaginative clamping fixtures due to all the holes and rounded edges ... we got it though and it looks 'good as new' for an antique. these things must have been really popular at one time cause there are about a million different pictures of em on google images. check it out
seriously, a half million at least ..
looked great in it's home place
