<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Of all the contact and glue surfaces of the full fit block
certainly the ones with the least structural significance must be the end grain
glue joint at the rim. In many woodworking aplications this is left to float,
but not in the wooden fortress circle of sound. I enjoy attempting to fit all of
these joints as well as I can if for no other reason than to be able to look
under the plate and see something that looks like it did 100 years ago. But this
end joint is about the hardest to nail, even when attained it's impossible
to get into the piano. So, I inevetably slip in the veneer at the end which
always seems difficult and messy to do and never looks quite right. I do under
cut the ends slightly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I would love to read procedures for nailing this left,
right, tight at both ends fit. It is, after all one that can be seen by every
one.</FONT></DIV>
