[pianotech] Console Leg (Paul Milesi)

[Susan Kline]

Ah, what one might call a console leg tourniquet.

One thing to be sure of: have something wrapped tight or clamped around 
the leg as you turn it back onto the screw, even if the glue is well set 
up. .
And of course it's important that the hole is sized properly after the 
two pieces are glued back together.
