Then I proceeded to build the scroll. more mistakes! The scroll holds the pegbox, and in real cellos appears to be carved from one piece with the neck. I built the scroll from several pieces, but got my dimensions a little wrong. I built flat sides and slotted them to slide over the bridge parts, giving lots of area to glue. I pushed and smooshed glue into the corregations to try to build it strong enough to hold string tension (more on that later!).
I drilled holes for the pegs, and then smeared the inside of the holes with glue to harden them, then re-drilled again to smooth them and round them out. I sized the holes to fit straws from the local ice cream & milkshake shop (Sweet Cow !!!). I filled each straw with a strip of glued corrugated cardboard to make it semisolid. That required over 24 hours to dry - I think bc the glue wasn’t exposed to much air.
The possibilities are endless and if you ever have an abundance of unripe grapes and don’t want them to go to waste you can still use them. One ancient use is verjus or verjuice but there are other ways to prepare them
Edit: posted the wrong link because i’m smart. Fixed now
I got absolutely no grapes this year. While I was away for a few weeks raccoons (I suspect) gobbled down the lot. Good luck in whatever you choose to do!
John Pennekamp was an environmentalist and editor at the Miami Herald. the coral reef state park is named for him in Key Largo:
the stamp and postmark refer to this coral reef park as Pennekamp Station. the South Creek Docks at Pennekamp Station is home port to yours truly, where the Conch Republic Vessel (CRV) Mighty Meh is docked.
the clients have a small A-frame house and everything to the inner extremes below standing height is dead space, so they asked us to make a storage chest
What happened was, a spammer slipped through because I fumble-fingered the buttons. They got flagged again, and the error was corrected… but the flags closed the thread.
This connects a couple of dots for me, thanks! Like Christ of the Abyss; I had seen pictures somewhere a while ago, but the location was just “off the coast of Florida”. Voss also rings a bell, probably because his work at Woods Hole. I have a thing about submarines and submersibles.
