Mark, now don't let anyone talk you out of that set! Stick to your guns, you've earned it! How long did it take you to finish it?

Thank you for the comments on the bellows. The piece of leather you see is temporary. (The actual belts had not been attached and can be seen in some of the other pictures).The belt is situated between two pads. There is no padding under the belt. While I am attaching the pads to the clapper I use the small strip of leather and the metal piece to hold everything in place. When the pads are finally attached, I remove the piece of leather and attach the belt.

I was thinking that was just for demo purposes, but again you might have had some new, patented, never-before attempted clip device that allows you to add and remove the cinch-portion of the belt without putting on a whole new belt and thereby accomodate various-girths of players simply by lengthening or shortening that half the belt. I spent a while trying to figure out how it was going to work or attach before I gave up and just asked. And I do like that brass plate. Beats the heck out of bevelled washers and hardware-store screws.

I didn't come up with anything new, but you may have. I planned on making up a set of bellows for the purpose practicing veneering. I will lengthen the piece of leather I use to hold the bottom pad on during assembly and add "d" rings on either end. This way, as you suggest, any length of belt can slipped through the "d" rings and be used to strap on the bellows.

I'll post pictures when they reach that stage. It will be a few weeks as I have a few pieces of furniture to refinish.

Since it was your idea, your more than welcom to try the bellows out when they are finished. PM me if your interested.

Thanks again and Happy New year to all.

Jim

Oft times ye scribble in black,
Others ye pen it a'down in red and green...
Wha' be the difference, ye always come across as a SMARTASS.

Try not to be such a tenderhead UILLIAM and leave the guy alone. Go eat some bad haggis or something (in the hopes of an argot high)...

Tuttut no need for that. Liam has every right right questioning the avalanche of near identical underxposed unsharp pictures of not particularly nice looking sets.

It is my hope that we can refrain from personal attacks. Criticisizing somebody's work is OK, taking it to a personal level is not.

This is an example of what I do not want to see. It is an example of how to get one's butt kicked off the forums. Cease.

That is all, dismissed.

Dear Joseph,

I'm sorry and apologize to all. I guess I'm still sore about how when our prodigal son was attacked when he made his humble return to the Forum after he left (I'll not mention any names here, but at least one goose decended on him like unto the Holy Spirit embodied as a dove in the Theophany we celebrated yesterday), instead of putting a ring on his finger and slaughtering the fatted calf, some (again, I'll not mention any names) called to have him cast out again, to a foreign land, to live off the locust husks that he was called upon to feed the swine. I'm sorry and will say no more about it. Please forgive me (all o' ye).
