I talked to Bill the machinist last night. He is drilling and cutting the last couple tailpieces this week. They'll go to the plater on Friday or Monday and be back within a week. We're getting closer and at least we're making progress. For reference, the holes in the original we used as our model are drilled for #6 screws. So, stainless steel #6 screws at about 1.5 inches should work well with the final tailpieces since they will be nickel plated and not overly shiny.
