Philco Lowboy severed leg repair options?
#1

Howdy folks -

Picked up a 1932 model 91L Lowboy dirt cheap that was saved from the dumpster by a local construction guy. It's a complete chassis and good grill cloth but looks like they used one of the legs to carry it out and it's snapped off. What's the best option to fix this and make it solid but original? All I've come up with is to drill both ends and insert a wood rod, then glue and clamp.

Thanks.
