    Abstract: A wooden post repair support bracket meant to repair, reinforce or straighten existing standing or leaning wooden posts. A single-piece steel bracket is formed by cutting plate steel and bending it. The post engaging portion has a flat plate and orthogonal flange which is bolted to two sides of a wooden post bottom. A cement imbedding portion has an arm extending outwardly and downwardly from the flange so that the arm is positioned below ground level and embedded in new cement. Slots or staggered holes in the bracket enable finding solid wood to bolt into. In an alternate version, a flush mount plate with a flange and embedding arm extending orthogonally away from the post is mounted through a rail and into the post.
