I felt the phase of the moon was right and the planets were aligned so I took another break from the processor and repaired an outboard leg for someone.
The celestial patterns were good and my welds came out nice, at least for me, no stacks of dimes but money is over rated anyway.
A little fairing with a 40 grit flap wheel to taper the section then buff with a 120 grit and it started taking shape.
The bottom side needed a recess cut for the trim tab. Used a router bit and router to rough it out then sanding disk to smooth it.
He didn't say what the casting was worth but the guy at the repair shop told him he'd have a hard time finding someone to fix it. If I'd known that I'd have charged more.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
