Hi David, I like it! I think I'll go home and throw rocks at mine... But then again, what do you do with the cantilevered dampers (S&S B for instance) that can't rest on the wood? Thanks.

My rack is narrow enough that the felts fit on either side of it and only the wood blocks rest on the rail. dp David M.

This is why they use trays where the dampers rest upside down (wires pointing to the ceiling). HOWEVER, after dropping a tray and scattering dampers all over I came up with this idea (attached). Place dampers in the tray (through the holes) then put on the upstop rail, then flip it over. This way if you don't get around to the job for a few weeks (months?) the felt is not ruined. Very easy to use and to make. Although it does look a bit funny. Jim Busby BYU -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
