blown out bridge pin

[pmc033 at earthlink.net]

I attended the California convention last year where Nick Gravagne
demonstrated the technique of doing this.  He used a forstner bit.  I can't
recall all the details, but it worked flawlessly.  I'd have to find his
handout and my notes to make further comment.
