Steve: If the pin block area is really bad, you might try the other appraoch, and that is to cut out the entire thickness of the block,and then replace that section. It is actually easier than routing, because you don't have to match the pin holes exactly. When you are replacing the pin block area, because the block is open face, getting the pins holes in the exact place is not as critical. Speaking of matching holes, I do suggest making a pattern of the entire block with mylar. Willem Blees RPT St. Louis
