The Stand

So this weekend we tackled the stand: what you put the finished harpsichord on. The pieces are all already done, just sanding and gluing needed. We sanded all the turned legs and then had to sand down the tenons to get them to fit; some required trimming the edges. Then we glued the joining surfaces and clamped it all together. 


The stand turned out very nicely. It was pretty easy, compared to later steps, it seems. In other news we got a super-powerful shopvac to suck up all the sawdust.
