Thanks Glen. CarrieM got most of it right except for the finish. She wasn't home when I rubbed the scales w/ canuba (spelling again) wax.
Power tools: A band saw for the contour, a drill press for the pin holes, a bench grinder w/ drum sander for shape and contour done free hand. Some pin vices for removing the old pins and soptting the new holes and lots of sanding by hand for the final finish to 1500 emery.
