Here I am sawing out my second half-hole for the saddle fix. I used the 3/4" holesaw the first time and it was too sloppy. Whipped out my 11/16" holesaw (I am the Holesaw King) and got a slightly small half hole which I dremel sanded up.

Came out good. Not bolted in yet.

Here I have tacked on my repair sleeve for the tailwheel pivot.

Never lick metal when it is that color. I did get it welded up, and the pivot seemed true when I had it tacked. Welding is not a skill that improves with abstinence. Here I am obscuring the weld with the torch, in case EAA national ever looks at these pictures. If they saw that weld my chance for a Tony Bingeles award will go right to zip.

Since I booted the harley golf cart out of the weld area I took it for a spin after. Helps to run it once in a while in the winter.
