Thanks, Newton, for your very kind words.

The same tool might be fashioned with wood and X-acto blades. The shank
should be maple or harder and resistant to splitting (hornbeam, lilac,
boxwood). The blades could screw or bolt on, maybe with latitude for
vertical adjustment - then the guide could be tapered a little so mortises
could be offset, or a larger taper to work on bushed and unbushed keys.
"The un-Bushmaster" ;)

Hands still hurt from removing the very tight pins with pliers with
leather mitten jaw liners. Next problem to tackle.
