5 a.m. Jig

No, it's not a dance. This is highly technical stuff.

I just finished my umpteenth 5-o'clock-in-the-morning jig needed for the day's work. This time nothing so ingenious - just a little measurement jig to see that dampers are lifting at half hammer lift (7/8" slice of wood glued to a mute stick - credit: Bill Spurlock). This will be my first full damper regulation in a person's home (I like to hide in my shop and do these things I am not experienced at!).

How many times have you laid awake, not quite sure how to complete the next day's task, only to go Eureka! at some point in the night - and then get up early to build the darn thing before your 9 a.m. appointment? Any horror stories? Any triumphs?

Just for fun. But maybe informative!
