  Joseph,
      I recently replaced some plates . These were in the same mortises and
although  the depth of the mortises was correct the holes did not line up
for the new plates.
      I drilled out the existing holes and glued in hardwood plugs (not
dowells) Then with the plates  locked together on the leg,  I applied a
small amount of C.A. to the plate that attatches to the piano--Careful not
to glue them together !--- then put the leg in place correctly positioned ,
wait for the C.A. to bond, carefully remove the leg and there you have it ,
the leg plate positioned and ready for drilling and screws .  Tom Driscoll

    List,
    I don't find any info in the archives on this subject and my PTG Journal
CD is not up and running yet,,,so, could someone please walk me thru the
process of locating the male/female parts on their respective case parts,
and still get the legs to line up in the original locations?  I have already
routed out enough wood for the new plates to have room to fit (they were
larger than the originals). I have already installed T-nuts for the
retaining screws and don't want to jeopardize this work by mis-locating the
plates!

    Thanks in advance,
