Fitting pinblocks & side to side registry

[btrout@desupernet.net]

Hi all,

First thanks for all the responses about fitting pinblocks.  I feel a
little sheepish now that I think about it.  I worked a number of years
in construction and I should have known what the stuff was that we put
into the chalk line...  (sheepish grin...)

As far a keeping track of where a pinblock is from side to side, I
usually will use a pencil mark on each end of the pinblock, somewhere
where it will make sense to me.  It might be a mark which will line up
with a corner of the plate.  If you wanted to, you could attach
something like a block of wood to the side of the plate with a bar clamp
and use an index line.  There are probably a hundred ways.  The main
thing is that you make a mark that means something to you.  Something
that won't move when you don't want it to.  Something simple and easy.
You'll figure it out.

Best wishes,
