Hi Jim,
It's only scary until you try it. Then, it's - just woodwork 
once you get past the mythology spooks.


Ron's recapping method is also something good to learn...

Epoxy laminated veneer for the high end stuff, particularly in 
the treble. For a vertical piano bass bridge replacement, 
Delignit or even the multilam maple pinblock material, 
uncapped, is plenty good enough. The lower you go in the 
scale, the less critical the capping becomes.
