I think you missed what he was saying, Terry. The lock was to keep it
from spinning before the glue set up. It allows drilling the next hole
(which will overlap the new plug) before the glue dries without worrying
that the new plug will rotate.

FWIW, I'd sure question the integrity of any glue joint that required a
physical lock to keep the glue joint from failing. If the glue joint may
not hold, then you should seek an alternative approach, IMHO.

Terry! Here is a simple technic to insert plugs in pin blocks.It was
shown to me by late Dennis Nicholson,RPT.
Step 1:drill larger hole,63/64"
Step 2:apply Titebond glue to both surfaces
Step 3:insert the plug in the hole,level it with the face of the
pinblock.
Step4: with the drill 7/32" drill a hole 1/2" deep so half of the hammer
shank hole is in the plug and the other half in the pin block.
Step 5:apply glue to a hammer shank and drive 1/2" piece of hammershank
in that hole.
now that piece of hammershank acts a s a LOCK and prevents new plug from
spinning around when drilling a new hole for  tuning pin.You can start
drilling hole for tuning pin immidiately,no waiting overnight for glue
to cure.THis is old woodworking technic and there are severall more
applications for it in our line of work
 
I hope,i made this description clear.If any questions,feel free to call

GOOD LUCK! Isaac
 
Is epoxying  the best way to fix these plugs ore are there better glues?
