Hello Guys,

my PS1 has received a very bad fork hit ! See pic 1.

The main broken piece of wood is lost in dead leaves.


I glued the second one and made the repair with some wood filler.

I let it dry during a few days.

Then I put some Walnut stain and then some acrylic varnish.

I hope it will work as nice as before.

Let's test it soon.

Polish it up. I think it will be fine. Sorry for your misfortune.

Thank goodness for those metal pins in the forks ... could have been much worse. But it looks like you have done an excellent repair. Hope it returns to its previous functionality.

Cheers ...... Charles

Thank you guys for your kind comments.

Repair is not so perfect, it fails 1.5 -2mm on the inner fork!
