I finished the mitering of the lowest three of the 16' Wicks Gedackt rank. I now need to start on the windchest for the upper section of the rank. The bottom 14 has an offset chest which I need to supply wind and a regulator for these renegade ranks. I call them renegades because they do not belong to either complete organ ( Organcraft and Kimball) They are ranks from several manufactures Wicks, Austin, Kilgen, Gottfried and I'm not where the Gemshorn was made. I guess you could call it the Heines 57. Check out the pictures. These are the pipes I purchased from you, Allan.
CCC# in place. Bob, if you view these I had already put on the Silicone II prior to our conversation on the Diyapason. For everyone else silicone sealant can be problematic with wood. It soaks into the wood and nothing will stick to it ie glue if it needs to be repaired. Leather strips with a wood batton is probably the best way.
This is a picture showing the external braces or sometimes called scabs in construction. There is also a slot routed in the edge of the meeting sides with a 1/4" strip of wood inserted into the slot.You can see this in the previous picture. It is the white patch under the external braces. The white stuff is the silicone II sealer
Well, there you have it all 14 pipes in a row.
Here you can see where the DDD# and EEE go between the floor joist. I only wanted to miter what was absolutely necessary. I would rather shorten the stopper handle.
Till next time
Steve
