Illuminati (2nd Degree)
Am making a test tonight using the organ recital from
Minnesota Public Radio called Pipe Dreams. The length in
the current config is 54 inches which I'll have to get down to
a more workable size. No stuffing in them yet except what is behind the driver in the elbow. Accordian from Angelo Di Pippo sounds pretty good. He is a jazz accordianist, one of the few. :-)


In a day or so I'll have a workable base. The base is more
odds and ends from my practice making cutouts.


This is a story in itself: To practice making cutouts without
access to a router or a spin saw (Rotozip) I got some rotozip
wood bits and chucked one up in my electric hand drill that is
in a Sears drill guide. I have my choice of three centers from the
available machinings on the guide. No trigger lock on the ol'
drill, so I got one of those new ratchet clamps and kept the
drill going that way.

Go ahead and laugh. I was surprised that it worked at all.
But I wear eye protection on this job. I snapped a couple bits
before I got the speed right. So my practice bases have
cutouts through a square of particle board stacked 2 high
and for feet... well the local Farm and Fleet had bags of
wood plugs so a couple of those glued up will be the feet.

Maybe someone in here can tell me if, with this combination
of driver and enclosure, I should attempt the other 99 cent
modification of the driver which is to damp it with rope caulk
around the basket (?)
