[pianotech] Kimball pedal bracket-Nylon/plastic

[Claude Harding]

Thanks, Ron, for the explanation of procedure.  I seem to have a gift for
making the simple complicated; you seem to have a gift for making the
complicated simple.
I will try your procedure.  A 5/32 drill bit will be about the right size.
All my 5/32 bits are 3 1/8 in. long, and I need to drill a 3" deep hole.  If
I need to , I can countersink a hole in the ends of the blocks so my drill
bit will reach.  I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Thin blade in the table saw, kerf both pieces. clamp together, drill screw
holes, and run a drill the right size for the pedal pin through the matched
kerfs (guides). Ta-da!
