Mortised pinblocks are not THAT much more work Wim. Heck even I have
gotten that far into rebuilding on a few occasions. Hardest part to me
was making the case repair at the end of the job look seamless if you
ask me. But then cabinent work is hardly my specialty. Ok... it takes a
bit more time... what... an extra hour or so to get the darn thing out,
and say just as much to refit... and then whatever time it takes to do
the finish work.... or what ?
