back in december i broke the card table my parents had let me borrow for doing puzzles on. it was one of their wedding presents and is around 44 years old. the leg of the table broke off.


you can see where the weld broke


another leg, still attached


the broken weld


i temporarily supported the table, which had a puzzle spread out half finished on it, with a chair and some old phone books.


it worked long enough for me to finish the puzzle.


my dad says my uncle can try to weld it back on, so it will be going back to them until the next time they visit south dakota. its really a very well built folding table, and the top separates from the metal frame to allow welding.


another puzzle done before the table broke
