In this short video I take a look at the practice of using the tote rod as a clamp. In other words, you have a broken tote so you apply adhesive, run a threaded rod thru the tote, and apply force. Using the existing pilot hole is convenient….I’ll give you that much. And setting a curvy tote up in a vice is also diffficult… that’s true too.

However, you're about to set out on a journey. The goal is to repair a broken tote, and I expect you want it to look “as close to” original as it once was. If this is the case, then plan ahead. And let’s not start out by creating yet another problem. (It’s already broken…😁)

There are several ways hold your part together and create a strong joint. I’m not really covering all of those creative techniques today. I’m just asking you to think about what you’re doing, prior to “doing”.
