See <BR>picture. It's easier for me to carry them around the shop and place them on <BR>a shelf  than the long racks. Personal choice. As for the PVC damper <BR>remover, I built one and found the radius of the pipe to carry excessive <BR>water that was unnecessary. I'm working on a version now that uses gutter <BR>stock. I also want to add a drain.<BR><BR>Jude Reveley, RPT<BR>Absolute Piano Restoration, LLC<BR>Lowell, Massachusetts<BR>(978) 323-4545</P> <P><FONT face="Times New Roman"></FONT> </P> <P><FONT face="Times New Roman">PS Sorry so late in the thread, my original photo was too big and got rejected!</FONT></P></FONT></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
