If you have an upright piano with a full plate, why

anything? I commonly find plate/pinblock screws and

I agree.
The purpose of using the old block as a template is
that Bolduc offers to ship a new block pre cut, pre
drilled, tuning pin holes
and all, ready to glue with minimal final fitting. You
have to ship him the block, and use his
tool(approx$200+US).
I drilled my own block awayway.
I was pleased how little time it took to remove and
replace block, much less then the grand blocks I have
done.
I have never been satisfied with my drilling outside
the plate. Better with plate in.
