<DIV><SPAN class=953433722-12122006><FONT face=Arial size=2>some time back I was
asked to post pictures of my set up for drilling pin blocks. I had a
machine shop make a solid round bar the same diameter as my drill press column.
I then welded the column to a steel plate which I screwed to a piece of birch
plywood. This gives a little sled that I can put the drill press head on and
scoot it around a table I have set up</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=953433722-12122006><FONT face=Arial size=2>The table is just a
double pin block blank. I have anti-gravity pads underneath it to float it over
the piano. ;-) On a grand I just lay it across the sides of the piano,
usually with a couple of bar clamps to secure it. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=953433722-12122006><FONT face=Arial size=2>When drilling I have
one of my sons stand off to the side to hold the vacuum hose. These does double
duty of keeping the chips out of the way and it keeps the drill bit cool.
My bits never get dull. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

finished product- 1/2" plugs from Webb Phillips. I've never installed them
before and it went pretty well. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
