Not much to show today. I took the clamps off and shaped the pitman arm using a file and sandpaper to match what the original would have been as closely as I was able.

I drilled the end to match the original keyhole shape as close as possible along with the hole thru the end so it is capable of accepting the Singer hardware. I expect the repair to be as strong as the original wood. The wood itself will fail before a joint made with modern wood glues. I still need to find some appropriate stain so it blends in with the rest of the arm.
