The bridges, a transition bridge and a bass bridge, are for another rebuilder who had retained my services to constructing them along with a cut-off bar and a set of laminated ribs. The rebuilder requested the pieces in the raw, oversized, and unfinished condtion - he will be cutting to size and doing all the shaping and finishing of the bridges, cut-off and ribs.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Such as they are, below is a picture of the bridges this morning right after taking them out of the clamps/forms and peeling the plastic off - lots of epoxy squeeze-out and all very messy looking:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:002101c8759a$ea43bba0$0401a8c0@DESKTOP" align=baseline border=0></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Picture below is after the bridges (and cut-off and rib slabs) have had tape removed and edges cleaned up (ran 'em throught the bandsaw) - the cardboard is for packaging:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:002201c8759a$ea43bba0$0401a8c0@DESKTOP" align=baseline border=0></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Close-up, from left to right, of the cut-off bar, the transition bridge and the bass bridge:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:002301c8759a$ea43bba0$0401a8c0@DESKTOP" align=baseline border=0></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>And away we go!  </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Eighty-four degrees out today - glad my vehicular air conditioning is working well!</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:002401c8759a$ea460590$0401a8c0@DESKTOP" align=baseline border=0></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Terry Farrell<BR>Farrell Piano</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial><A href="http://www.farrellpiano.com">www.farrellpiano.com</A><BR><A href="mailto:terry@farrellpiano.com">terry@farrellpiano.com</A></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
