of your coercion!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fist of all, IMHO, <EM>most =
</EM>uprights, if they
are deserving of a new pinblock, also deserve a new soundboard - and =
hence the
need to remove the sides anyway (yes, I realize there will be cases =
where it
<STRONG><EM><U>may</U></EM></STRONG> be appropriate to not replace the
soundboard).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If the sides are indexed with a width =
jig
and dowels prior to removal, cut off rather than busted =
off, and
replaced using those two jigs along with the keybed and bottom =
board (and
checked with the knee board and upper front board - what the heck is =
that
called?), everything aligns quite well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can easily imagine that it would be =
difficult to
accurately reposition an upright side that was broken off without being
indexed.</FONT></DIV>

is that if we're after a quick upright pinblock<BR>> removal setup, =
taking
the sides off and gluing them<BR>> back on should be avoided, if
possible.<BR>> Which I have never done, by =
the
way. But I have<BR>> glued some loose sides back on, and =
found
that slight<BR>> misalignment in the glue joint caused by
splinters<BR>> and such can really mess up the action =
