Hello again. Now I’m gonna wrap this one up and get it to a place where we can see whether or not I stil know what I am doing. So I retrieved a cone, a coverplate, a biscuit and some tuners from the stash, and then I realized I need to make a string holder. The punched key-holes in the cover plate are great if you want to shorten your strings quickly, but I have an old nailcutter for that.
Fortunately I have some keys from and old pedal organ. One of them will do nicely.
Before I cut it to length I scrape the underside to make it fit the coverplate.
After cutting it I try to shape the new end so it matches the original one, then I mark the position of the holes and drill for screws.
This is the way it is attached. I will drill holes for the strings tomorrow.
This post was made on my phone but the app I usually make them in has stopped working. So it might look a bit rough.
