Steve's Pipe Organ Project

Well folks,
I finally used the miter box and mitered DD, CC# and CCC of the 16' Wicks Gedackt rank I purchased from Allan. I really didn't want to do this but space is getting scarce. I have the first sections glued but have to route the slot on the long section of the pipe glue and seal the seams. Check out the pictures


This should be at the end of the pictures but I couldn't get the pictures to re arrange. This shows the slots routed into the sides where 1/4" thick x 3/4 " wide flat hardwood pieces fit into to join the mitered sections together.




This is a picture of the CCC pipe in the miter box with the saw half through, reminds me of the magicians trick. However, the pipe came out in two pieces unlike the lovely assistant.

Just another view of the pipe in the box as is the picture below.


The inside of the miter box with the saw part way through.

This is the lower 14 pipes of the Wicks 16' Gedackt. The three on the left are the piped to be mitered.


These are the assembled short lengths DD, CCC and CC#

Till next time.
