Default Need a small item welded

I am seeking a suggestion of a person who does small item welding. I have several dresser pulls that have broken and need to be repaired. Sadly I can find no replacement source for the identical piece so it is either fix them or buy all new pulls for all the drawers.

Any piece of metal that "breaks" is probably cast. Welding cast is not easy nor is it cheap. Can you post a picture?

I have successfully repaired door pulls for a fellow villager, will be glad to look yours over. I agree with above, cast items cannot be welded, I do have a welder, if your pieces happen to be wrought iron or similar. Send me a PM and we can get together. I am located south of 466a, and would ask for your to bring the pieces to me so I have access to all of my tools.

Broken drawer pull. It is not magnetic. So much I don't know about fixing things.

If anyone can fix that, it will be a jeweler.

Blueash, I believe I can fix this, I have done similar for another villager. I sent you a PM.
