That's too bad, but just in case have you checked out the Stewart Mcdonald web-site, they have a section for how to repairs. I'm sure I saw a tutorial on fixing cracks, just depends n how bad they are.
On to my build. Finally made up a binding bending jig (say that 10 times really fast) and bent a test binding. I'm going to let it dry overnight in the jig and see if it turns out. If so I'll post some pics over the weekend.
