<HTML>I drill my pin block on the bench. I have a shelf that sits on feet so that the shelf is at 7 degrees. (I know, it's probably too much of an angle, but that's another story.) When I put the block on the shelf, I start drilling the treble end first, with the bass end to my left. But when I did my first block, I wanted to get a feel of it, so I started drilling the bass end first, with the treble end to my left. I got about 2/3rds of it drilled when the thought finally crossed my mind that I had the block on the backwards. I kept that block in my shop for over 15 years as reminder to never make that same stupid mistake again. Wim </HTML>
