When I got to work today I polished a metal grill for yesterday's diatonic accordion before I applied gold cloth to said grill and the wooden frill on the bass side. Ivana cut the material to size and I glued it on. Once it had dried Stefano and I reassembled part of the accordion. My next job was was to drill holes in reed blocks. The drill bit was 1mm and the holes had to be dead central on the reed dividers along the reed blocks.
Soon after this it was lunchtime, so I had my daily lunch of salad & bread. After I lunch I walked into Stradella, in the baking sun, to visit the bank, supermarket and gelateria. The walk did me good, by me legs still hurt from yesterday's run!
I returned to work at 3 and had to adapt an amplifier. It's structure was too weak to hold the 4.5kg of electronic control panel so I drilled extra screw holes in the metal supports inside and reattached them with glue and screws. After this I replaced the bellow gasket tape on the accordion Claudio was tuning, and once he'd finished the tuning we eventually got home just before 8. Time for dinner - ravioli with tomato sauce, while I watched The Parent Trap.
It's another national holiday here tomorrow so I'm hoping to lie in. Fab.
Buona notte x
