[pianotech] Fallboard repair

[tnrwim at aol.com]

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.

Attempting to repair this tonight. Looks like someone's previous repair failed. 
I'm thinking of clamping it off and using epoxy. Then redrill and attach 
bracket. 

Bad idea? Better idea?
