No, all the studs are out! I just left some of the threading from one stud
in the hole. Or. in other words, the stud came out a little thinner, but
the right length ( when the 2 pieces are put together ).
If it had to foul, I'm happy that the hole is too small instead of too big.
My grandfather had some joke about somebody cutting a board over and over
and saying: " no matter how many times I cut it, it's still too short".
The good stud doesn't fit into the same size die though, < he says pensively
> and I didn't want to force it, since it is my only good reference right
now.
Thanks for the info!
