Oh, nothing really. I was just perusing my piano pictures and ran across it. That was one of my first attempts a making a laminated rib. I think it was made with narrow (maybe 30 mm wide) laminations that were pressed in my pneumatic rib-to-panel press - one rib at a time. When the glue is on and the pressure applied, the whole assembly became quite slippery and laminations tended to wander every which way. Usually if I could get past the first minute or two in the press retaining the narrow laminations in place, all would be fine. But this one apparently waited those first few minutes and then migrated when I wasn't looking and dried in that unique form. I thought I had saved that lovely work of art - I wanted to use it in my rib-building class as a statement of encouragement - "don't give up even if your first attempts are unsuccessful - we all have our flops before success!" I never did find it. Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- >> A golden oldie. Nice - yes? >> Terry Farrell > > Make a wish... > > Ok, I'll bite.
