You know how long it takes to get it hot enough to start a fire...I mea=
n two sticks of wood...forever!   I'm guessing 20 minutes to remove the=
 tuning pins with a drill.

If you really spun them out, they would be too hot to touch.  There mig=
ht also be wisps of smoke.  If the old pins were warm but not hot, perh=
aps they were loose.  Did any wood stick to the old pins; sometimes lit=
tle bits of wood will stick to the pins.  Boy Scouts start fires by thi=
s kind of procedure, wood on wood.  Friction produces heat.  How long d=
oes it take you to remove a set of pins with a Milwaukee drill.  Takes =
me a couple of hours to do it by hand; and, it's not that hard.

Ross, can you offer more explanation on this? The reason I ask is 
because I just got done 'spinning' , with a hi torque-lo RPM Milwaukee =

drill, the treble section of a 100 year old S&S 0, and the pins were 
warm to the touch..not hot.

I don't know for sure, but my gut tells me that I did not scorch the 
holes. I would be interested to hear more about your personal experienc=
e 
with this..or from anyone else for that matter since I have the rest of=
 
the block to do yet.
