I wouldn't be without these, now: 1. Red Devil 5-in-1 painters tool. This is like a spatula but has a = thin, strong, beveled blade. It is absolutely great for removing old = felts (rest rail, fallboard, etc.). After soaking the glue, use the tool = BLADE SIDE DOWN (like a wood plane blade, to prevent the edge digging = into the wood. It is also thin and strong enough to--carefully--insert = under a tight key slip to nudge (not pry) it up without marring the = finish. You will quickly find many other uses for this tool. I use it = just about daily. 2. Energizer ArcWhite flashlight. Small, light weight, fairly rugged. = Fits easily in tool kits. Has a VERY powerful beam. Has a reliable = switch (no more flashlight shaking!) Also has a fluorescent tube, real = thin, about 3" long, for a softer, more general light. Try the = florescent light for upright damper adjustments. The light will rest on = top of the backchecks and give good lighting to find those pesky wires. = (I never liked to play hide-and-go-feel.) Uses for AA batteries that = seem to last fairly well. Alan Barnard Salem, MO ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
