I made the coil, put it on the pin and started bringing it up to pitch
before noticing that I hadn't run it under the V bar. Oops. That was in =
the
early days, no one looking.=20

Then there was the time I decided to try using a hypodermic for CA =
instead
of "hypo oilers" -- pulled the plunger out and filled the cylinder with =
CA
... which ran out the needle of course. Kept most of it off the piano =
but my
whole hand was glued together (that was a weird sensation) ... took =
awhile
to get unstuck ... customer was home but out in back or something and =
missed
all the fun, Thank Heavens.

My advice: If you aren't going to obey ALL the laws, DO obey the laws of
physics, at least.

I just started rebushing a set of keys. I use a Bushmaster, and warm =
brass
cauls, with hide glue.


Now the stupid part. I was wondering why it was hard to get the cauls =
in, I
had done about a half dozen.


I had forgotten to use the Bushmaster first. :-(


It certainly pays to have your full mind on it, at least to start.


I have a TV that I watch as I do this job, helping to pass the time. I
should have gotten into the rhythm first.


Or is it just old age. :-)

What are some stupid or forgetful things some of the others have done?
