Did you use tracing paper for the pattern and then transfer to pinblock material for cutting out on the bandsaw? Obviously you have to go so close to the sides this method requires removal of the sides, not an easy task on most pianos I've destroyed. I suppose I could leave the sides on and do the final near the sides with spade bits in a drill. Then fill in gaps with filler. Spade bits remove a lot of material in a hurry and offer quite a bit of control. Thanks for sharing. I've thought about doing something similar but haven't gotten the nerve yet to try.

Just made sure I went a quarter-inch or so beyond all tuning pin holes. Obviously I ended up with an irregular pattern - but that way I saved all the original plate screw holes. I then cut the new block to match the routed out area.

I routed out the tuning pin area and epoxied in new pinblock material. Seems to have worked out quite well. Was pretty easy to do.
