<DIV><BR></DIV>IMO, any e-mail you receive that says anything about "african"
in it, DELETE IT! Especially if you didn't request it!!!!!

<DD>Subject:</B> pin block repacement<BR><BR>
<DD><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica" size=2>Hello list,<BR>
<DD><BR>
<DD>I have a question regarding a procedure for removing a Hardman pin
block. I have replaced blocks before, but this one appears to have been
installed using a slightly different technique. While being doweled and
glued to the inner rim shelf, there is also a mortise or rabbet under the
stretcher that the pin block material is let into. The veneer on the front
of the stretcher at each end, leads me to suspect that the block /
stretcher were originally installed as a unit. Not really wanting to
remove the stretcher, I’m wondering if I could simply cut the block out in
the normal fashion (router and big bit), leaving the part of the old block
that is under the stretcher intact and gluing the new block to that. This
is complicated by the presence of a large cove cut in the bottom of the
block / stretcher for fallboard clearance. I’m hoping that some one
has done this before, and can offer a procedure that has worked in the
past.<BR>

<DD>Thanks for any help at all,<BR>
