hammer thickness trimming jig, Uncle, Uncle!!!

[Will Truitt]

Barbara, 

I have been utterly overwhelmed by a sense of shame and guilt since you
posted this reply.  I can't sleep at night.  I've lost my zest for living!
:-{  

My therapist told me that the only way I could resolve this inner conflict
would be to buy a digital camera.  So I have ordered one.  I'm feeling
better already!  :-)

I hope to be able to post pictures of my hammer tapering rig (for hammers
that are mounted on shanks) by next weekend for those of you who have
requested that I do so.

Will Truitt

For crying out loud, Will, go out and spend a hundred bucks on a camera and 
tripod.  You probably don't even need to download any software, your windows

program (if that's what you use) will most likely save the pictures when you

plug in the USB cable that comes with the camera.  Please use the tripod, 
too--that will minimize any camera shake (=out of focus) and if you use the 
camera's timer, there will be absolutely no shake and you can set up the 
photo with your hands free to model in the picture ((holding the jig as it 
glides through, etc.)  When you have a good picture downloaded to the 
computer, click on it, and somewhere you'll see an option to email it.  If 
you're sending a picture to me, please send the original, full size file and

I'll edit it.  If you're sending it to pianotech, you may choose the option 
of a smaller file.

Call me, I'd be happy to help.
