Overall 99% of the bridge pin stagger & spacing were just as accurate as the pattern, which is phenomenal!<br>   With a Bridge pin locator template made as accurately as does David Hughes, with his method, it's difficult to go far wrong. I'm thinking that I'll also go back to the (Dave Hughes Version) Fuller provided long brad points to eliminate any wander.  Maybe get the ole bi-focal tweaked up a bit as well. grin<br>  <STRONG>Dale<br> </STRONG><br> <br> <FONT size=1> This<STRONG><EM> Stwy B</EM></STRONG> ( B is for bad boy) sports a Custom made quartered sawn maple lam. pin block...
