List, I am to give an estimate on replacing the pinblock of a 9' Chickering. This is the four-piece, full fit type. Though I've done a Chickering block once before, it wasn't my most efficient work. Do any of you rebuilder-types have a procedure for this one, or even a few tips? Should the ledge on each block section be cut out of one block (using a router table, as I did before) or should each section be of 2 thinner blocks, fitted, then glued together? Best block material? Price of job as a % (multiple) of normal pinblock job? Thanks in advance, Michael Tocquigny MikeToc440@aol.com
