   Don't forget to leave the parts you want and not accidentally cut them out and leave what was supposed to be the waste. I know there is a piece or two in the scrap bin with a pin or tail neatly removed.

   bruceb,

   The Rime of the Ancient Cabinetmaker--

   When you saw on the wrong side of the line,

   Make this your creed, as I've made it mine:

   A good-sized Wedge,

   Placed craft-ily

   Moves a pin's edge

   Where it ought to be.

   If you don't mind, I'll change the font to script, print it on vellum and put it up on the shop walls. Good'un.Boiler

   Boiler,

   I'm flattered. Knock yourself out.

   How true!

   I printed your masterpiece to show my wife. I'm sure she does not REALLY understand when I come in from the shop and say, "I made a mistake."

   Of course we woodworkers always find innumerable ways to 'recover' from our errors.

   As has been said here many times,
