I have a set of ornamental cast iron tables and chairs that is probably quite valuable.(it is very heavy and pretty ancient)
A few legs have snapped at the "ankle" over the years and an attempt at welding it back did not last.
Now I have shattered another one further up the legs (something heavy fell on it)...
I imagine welding is the only possibility of mending it .Can I hope for a better outcome this time?
(I can perhaps hope that the last welder did not do a very good job and that a proper job might repair it almost as new)
But I am prepared to learn that there is no real way to repair cast iron furniture if it has to bear any decent load..
Maybe ,it would need to have some kind of a splint in addition to the weld?
