---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment "declevity..."? Does your Mama know you use language like that? It must be a reeeeeally bad word because it's not in my dictionary, which is rated R I think, based on other words that are in there. No fair teaching us a new naughty word without telling us what it means. Oh, well, come to think of it, that's how we first learned all the forbidden words, wasn't it ...

Do you also use this device on a new = $4K ivory key set?" Terry, Usually 15-30 seconds will suffice. And, YES, it can be used on Ivory. The dowel has two front rail punchings, stacked/glued on the dowel. Then the VERY SOFT Buckskin is stretched over the end, glued and clamped with a chunk of piano wire. The whole feel is that of a finger. On the end that inserts into the Jig Saw, I took an appropriate sized screw and flattened one end and filed/ground it to the appropriate configuration to mimic the appropriated saw blades, used on this Jig Saw. Then I screwed it into the dowel w/some epoxy as lubricant/fastening. The sides of the dowel were flattened/thinned to clear the declevity plate. It probably took about an hour to set it up for use. I've been using it for many years and have never had a problem with damage to the keys/piano/self. Initially, it was purchased at a Used Tool store, for very little bucks. Even a new Jig Saw is fairly cheap these days. Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T. Captain, Tool Police Squares R I ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
