[pianotech] Once bowed, now flat, the Pinblock is fitted.

[Greg Newell]

I do, and it is .... a good idea. I've been doing this for years and I
simply won't do it any other way. MUCH better control over the end result.

Double drill the block like Ron recommends.   I don't do pinblocks but it
seems like a good idea...
