It had the stretcher over the plate. I was "scratching my head" wondering how I would handle this, and my dad came into the shop. He was a retired finish carpenter, and he said: " I can fix that "! He used a circular saw, set it to the right depth, did a little hand work on the ends- and off it came. I tacked it back on upon completion. Never had one again.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On another note: I use a hand brace for plate screws with Irwin screw driver bits. Again, a gift from dad. Can't find new ones, but I just asked Irwin Tool Co. if they still make them.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Last item: </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am looking for a few bass underlevers for a 1951 "D".
