The end pin part II

I decided not to glue the end pin in its place, and made plug and glued that instead. With the hole filled I could restart the reaming process for the end pin and this time make sure I don't do anything stupid. And that worked out nicely. I left the end pin now ~5 mm proud of the surface of the cello. That leaves some room for change in the hole and end pin due to humidity or compression of the wood when the strings pull the end pin up. One doesn't even notice the fix unless one takes the end pin off, which hopefully won't happen very often.
