Now all I'm asking is how best to cut parallel strips of red backing cloth accurately. I've had a few very good suggestions to experiment with. The cloth mustn't "ruck" when being cut.

Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Gamble <mailto:michael@gambles.fsnet.co.uk> Thanks, Terry, for your suggestions. You're right! I didn't mention what type of piano. It's my S&S 'A' . So it's a grand - and it MUST have those red backs sandwiched between the damper felt and the hardwood damper heads! I'll bear your suggestions in mind for uprights though, Terry! Thanks for the photos! Regards Michael G.(UK) _____ From: Farrell [ <mailto:mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com> mailto:mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com] First of all, I have another question: why use backing felt/cloth at all? You don't state if your question refers to vertical or grand dampers. When I build vertical dampers, I felt the backs - you could do the other side the same way for felt/cloth backing material. I cut new wooden backs and simply glue the felt to the wood first, then cut the composite (felt + wood) on the bandsaw. If you are trying to do grand dampers, then this idea wouldn't work. But again, why use backing felt/cloth? ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
