It broke after the first flight 😭
Fortunately, her dad knows a little bit about fixing cracks in wood. Even touched up the logo!
Happy everything to everyone and cheers to the end of the year!

First time doing a socket graft! I had to make a cutter for the tone hole, and bought an exact size reamer to enlarge the hole, but now I'll be ready for next time. Swipe to see the process of turning down the top of the joint to receive the graft, installing the graft, and recutting the tone hole. The most harrowing part was getting things aligned before cutting the tone hole, but my set-up worked and everything lined up perfectly. I didn't even have to replace the pad. This one is going back up the road to the local middle school, and it never had to leave its zip code to get fixed!
Credit to my daughter, who came out to the shop while I was working on this and was eager to help. She's an excellent assistant.
