Compartmentizing

[Jason Kanter]

Thanks, Joe. Nothing but love from here. The word "umptieth" is not a
complaint! I enjoy every single post of yours.
 
(And though my name is spelled Kanter, I guess there must have been a Cantor
back five to ten generations ago. Genealogically closer, though, I also
descend from Rimsky-Korsakov's brother, so I'd guess the musical impulse
comes from there...)
 
But back to the substance of the discussion: If you don't carry CA glue with
you, how do you handle the grand piano that needs it on arrival? I've had
several occasions where I was glad I had a little tube of it in my toolbox. 

and... a 4" deep picnic basket? Where do you put the roast chicken?

Jason the Cantor said: "The discussion about where to keep spare hammers
etc. prompted Joe 
Garrett to recommend (for the umptieth time): "I strongly urge you to
"compartmentize". i.e. a woodworking kit, a stringing kit, a repinning
kit, a regulation kit, etc."
What about the liquids?"
 
Jason,
As for the first part: I reiterated because there are a continual stream of
"Newbies" and many had not been privy to my ascerbic wit and
horse....sense.<G> If'n you are tired of my constant barrage of tool tips,
etc., come to a regional and tell me face ta face!!! So there!<G>
Now to the second, (actually a valid question that deserves an answer! Go
figger!<G>)
Several have told you about the small coolers, etc. I'd like to add to it:
For my voicing kit which includes Alcohol, Acetone, Lacquer, Sanding Sealer,
dissolved Key top material and all the necessary tools for voicing, I have
an aluminum case, about 12"x18"x4", that used to be a 40's/50's picnic
Basket. I only carry it in the car when I have a major Voicing job to do,
(which I schedule). The rest of the time it stays in my piano/music/junk
room that is cool/dry. The same goes for many other type kits that are only
needed for MAJOR kinds of jobs. As for glues, I carry a very small amounts
with me, on a regular basis. I never carry CA glue with me! (Unless I find
that there's a p.block to douse.) That stuff stays in my 2nd/drinks
refrigorator where it lasts longer and has a propensity to leak, no matter!
So there ya go. Enjoy. 
AND...Jason......lighten up on this olde dude. I might get a
complex.<G>.....Nah!<G>
