Once upon a time, I may have made a joke involving “Jake the Peg”. Those were innocent days.
It has been a productive week.
The expression shoes are now in the console, and everything is secure. The first photo show one of the new pots in its flange and waiting to be secured to the shoe, and the second shows the rear view of the console, with the shoes and side panels fitted and secured.
The only (forgive me) potential fly in this ointment is that I have not properly tested the pots. To do this properly, I need to assemble the MIDI control centre in the correct place, so that the shielded cable to the pots is as short as possible. I have received Dire Warnings about this cable being too long, as it may cause errors in the Voltage transmission from the pots to the MIDI module. So that’s next week’s job.
Meanwhile, David (of Norwich Organs fame) has received the toe piston mouldings. He is currently thinking about things, and will attack them with a saw in due course. Rather him than me.
In house-related news, I have – with the assistance of lovely neighbours – smashed up three sheds. I think we deserve an award for how neatly the skip was packed. Next week, the tree surgeon cometh. Hopefully he will pronounce the oak at the bottom of the garden to be sound and safe.
Oh yes, and I managed to step on a nail when taking the dogs for a walk. In the middle of woodland. Which is unfair: I didn’t do this once when we were smashing sheds to bits. Hello, tetanus shot and course of strong antibiotics. Ouch.
