Pinblock Plugs, was: Nice Baldwin Pinblock

[Mike and Jane Spalding]

Conrad,

Follow this link to Lee Valley Tools, plug cutters.  http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.asp?SID=&ccurrency=2&page=42292&category=1,180,42288

3/8" dia straight (not tapered) plug cutter, up to 2" maximum length.  $9.95 for carbide tipped, or $7.50 for high-carbon steel (not recommended).  I've made a small quantity of Bolduc plugs for individual repairs, but never tried to do a set of 228 for complete piano.
