not a workshop update: i finally found my cork and felt cement, and got my leak light set up. finished the lower stack, the C-D# keys, and the D-B-Bb key/G# key combination. mostly pad leveling, regulation, and spring tensioning, although i broke the spring on the C# key twice (doh!). it’s really incredible to be able to do this, because i’m basically running on automatic… if i were to stop and think about what i’m doing, it would never get finished.

i tried to take a picture of the leak light in action, but it was too dark, and if i use the flash then you can’t see the leak light. i’ll figure out something and post a picture of it later. now i’ve got to go to a ballard sedentary sousa band performance at small faces child development center.
