Gluing and/or splicing springs? WOW! Tell us more! That's beyond anything I've ever seen/done/etc. Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- From: David Skolnik To: toddpianoworks at att.net ; pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Monday, May 11, 2009 9:59 AM Subject: Re: [pianotech] Whippen storage Matthew - It would be tempting to have some fun with this...like, for example, suggesting that David I actually travels with a shopsmith and lumber supply...behind his motorcycle. But facetiousness generally backfires, so, playing it straight, it's interesting that everyone who did respond seems to consider it unnecessary to carry this part with them. In fact, I wonder what kind of vehicle you are using and what your normal travel range is. Unless you've set up a full van as a complete portable shop, and are traveling many miles to a job, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use glue, pinning tools, string, a pencil, felt scraps to fix just about anything you find. OK, so carry a little spring making tool with a few gauges of spring wire if you're worried about that. (My attempts at gluing or splicing springs has been unsuccessful, thus far.) If you must, try some plastic shoe box type things from Staples or some such. What else you got in there?
