Stupid newbee!!! Stupid! Stupid!

[William Benjamin]

I had some one come in the store and just sent it without spell checking.
Now that I spell check, I find newbee comes up wrong; go figure.

Thanks to everyone for your great advice. Also, I went to the PTG meeting
today and got some great advice too. 

 

Thank you everyone, also, for not rubbing my nose in it too!!

 

Isaac, I will definitely practice before I try anything.

Hi,Sam! You can call yourself “Stupid” if you will do it again second
time..For the first time:Just call it GODD Experience..

I had done it 28 years ago,I still work on that 6’+ Chickering and it’s
fine..

Here is a simple repair technique: Drill out  31/32” hole to insert ½” Ready
Made Plug from Pin Block Material,glue it,cut it flush. And here is the
trick I had learned from late Dennis Nicholson,RPT.. At 1o’Clock area drill
7/32”hole 1/8 deep so that drilled hole is half-way in the plug and half way
in the old pin Block area and it works as a LOCK or CAM and prevents newly
installed plug from spinning  around during drilling.You don’t have to wait
for glue to set with this technique.This LOCKING technique was used in a lot
of ship building joints in the OLD World and it works..I would recommend
practicing it first on an old piece of pin block material..When I will
master using my new digital camera-I will post a picture of this repair

Good luck.. Isaac..

Ok, I know this was a stupid thing to do and I'm glad that it was on my
piano and not on someone else's.

 

The plate bushings looked horrible, so I decided to drill them out and
replace them. On one, though, I drilled too far and went about 1/2 inch into
the pin block. After that happened, removed the pin block and wished there
was a way to kick myself before I continued.


So now I have to figure out what to do about this oversize hole I made where
the pin should go. I'm hoping that the block isn't ruined, because the rest
of it looks like it's in really good shape.

 

I'm thinking about gluing a plate bushing in the large hole. That's the only
thing I can think of right now. Any ideas?

 

Please don't yell at me, I yelled at myself already.
