Do you have a jeweler's torch? You're going to need one. I wrecked a
drawer pull about that size with my smallest torch.

I do not; I have a very tiny butane-air torch and a small acetylene-air
torch. The butane-air torch is probably too small, the acetylene-air
torch a trifle big. I think it's got the better chance, however.

Given my prior experience, I'd have a long look for a suitable
replacement, just in case. There are lots of cabinet hardware outfits
still around. I got my sister some "reed & ribbon" pattern stuff made
in the USA. It was not cheap, as you'd expect for plated solid brass,
but it was available.

Fortunately, there's nobody breathing down my neck on this project. I broke
the pull and will be very pleased if I can fix it. If I can't fix it
neatly, I'll fix it less than neatly.....8-)

Thanks for writing!
