Drying time for wood

[Marcel Carey]

Hi Rick,

The piano "How it's made" was done already. They used the Mason & Hamlin
factory. It was interesting, but really cut short. I think it was about
15 minutes. Of course, they made sure to show the rim bending process
but the rest was a very very short overview.
