Spell checker would not have caught that one as threw IS a word - a legitimate one at that.

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.
