Ready for the final push

The piano is gutted. 

The hole is cut. 

Last look at an empty piano with a hole cut in it, before the final push

The felt is purchased. 

The case is stained. 

The keyboard is trimmed. 

L to R: The damper bar (shot glass shelf), the serial number board (hole cover), the reduced keyboard (thing to lean on)

The ends are painted. 

The trim is re-stained. 

The shelves are varnished. 

L to R: Sound board (bottle shelf), rod (keyboard spacer for glued down keys), keyboard blocks (original), trim (felt holder), second serial number board (auxiliary shelf)

The polish is ready. 

The plan is formulated.

I am ready for the final push. Next weekend, the hunk of antique furniture that was a piano becomes a bar.
