Couple of fun pictures below of fun stuff to build in the shop. 

 

First pic is of a treble fish and tenor cut-off bar for a concert grand. The
cut off is 8 plys of 6+ mm thick hard maple laminated into about a six-foot
radius with two-part urea formaldehyde adhesive. It measures 55 inches long
by 1-3/4" tall and two inches wide.

 

The fish is cut from a hunk of Pianotek Multilam rotary-cut hard maple
pinblock material laminated to a thick hunk of southern yellow pine (the pin
is of similar density to the maple). Urea formaldehyde is the adhesive.

 

 

 

 

The other item I made recently is a pinblock for the same piano. It has a
Pianotek Multilam base and is capped with an 8 mm piece of Delignit pinblock
material. Again, urea formaldehyde is used as the adhesive.

 

 

 

I'm also building a complete ribbed soundboard for this piano - I have yet
to taper ribs and glue them to panel - more later.....

 

Fun stuff!
