This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment -------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------- I've got a bit of problem/dilemma: Upright action with about a dozen =3D backcheck wires, broken below the surface of the wippen body! I drilled = =3D one out with the hollow/reverse drill bit, that is used to extract =3D screws. This leaves a 1/4" hole, which can be filled with a dowel/glue. = =3D However, I don't like the idea of re-drilling the pilot holes, for the = =3D new wires, into end grain. I can drill a 7/32" hole across the wippen = =3D plug, so that it would be in line with the new pilot hole and that would = =3D give a more stable cross grain to drill/thread into.That is a lot of =3D drilling and plugging! Anyone have a better way to extract the olde wire stub, w/o all this =3D hassle?!!!??? Best Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T. Captain, Tool Police Squares R IHi JoeAfter all these years dont you have a box full of old = whippens. When I break a wire, I just replace the thing with a duplicate = old one, and regulate til its good to go..Richard Gullion, London Canada ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
