<font color='black' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'> <div><font style="background-color: transparent;" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I would clamp a piece of plywood to the outside of the fall board, with a piece of wax paper between the plywood and fallboard. Drill out the hole with a 1/4" drill to about 3" and put in a hammershank. Fill the rest of the hole with epoxy. Saw the shank off flush with the edge of the fallboard. After it has set, drill a hole of the screw. Then remove the plywood. </font></div> <div> </div> <div>Wim </div> <div style="clear: both;"> <div> </div> </div> <div></div> <div></div> <div style="color: black; font-family: arial,helvetica; font-size: 10pt;">-----Original Message-----<br> From: Rob McCall <rob@mccallpiano.com><br> To: pianotech <pianotech@googlegroups.com>; pianotech <pianotech@ptg.org><br> Sent: Thu, Feb 28, 2013 3:10 pm<br> Subject: [pianotech] Fallboard repair<br> <br> <div style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" id="AOLMsgPart_0_eb1e8b1d-74bd-4822-b2ba-7541bd5b7f43"> <pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>Attempting to repair this tonight.
