[CAUT] Bridge pin removal

[Paul T Williams]

I think I like it!  How about putting a cloth or felt under the block so 
as to not scratch the soundboard?  Too bad if the pins are way down in and 
only stick up a tiny bit though......

Merry Christmas!

[CAUT]  Bridge pin removal






Dear List-

My partner here at ASU Rick Florence came up with a novel idea for pulling 
bridge pins. Clamp on the pin solidly with a set of vise grips that have a 
good ridge  near the jaws that you can get the claw part of a claw hammer 
underneath. Set an appropriately tall piece of wood on the sound board 
itself and lever them out. This worked very quickly and took out even the 
toughest pins with no damage to the hole.
