    Right you are, Mike.  After hitting "send", I realized that I was responding to a single post out of the context of the entire thread, making my post irrelevant to uprights (at least, those without knuckles <G>).  Thanks for helping keep me honest!

  Hi Julia,

  I think you have the right idea and I Ed gave you some good advice. You can find some of the tools you'll need along with some great how-to's at spurlocktools.com and the hammer boring jig from Renner.
