During those hours of fitting, I sometimes dream of ways to build some kind of jig (for a router, maybe) to make the pinblock to fit the plate Exactly and precisely. Perhaps with a CNC router... Well, needless to say, I always get done fitting the pinblock before I work out the details... and don't think about it again till the next pinblock, at which time the thought process starts all over again, at the beginning...)
