my harp has feet

Progress on the harp hasn't exactly been stellar as of late. Mostly, we were too busy planning to go skiing, going skiing, and recovering from going skiing. However, I've got a few shots of some of the work.

Here's some gluing and clamping of trim. The bottom strip of trim has 5 screws through it, so there are little plugs that go in and then get sanded down.

 


We did a test fitting of the neck and pillar with the base. This really was a two-person procedure, exactly as the kit directions indicated. I love those directions. The fit just required a bit of trimming on the bottom. Dexter found this incredibly boring. I believe what he's saying here is, "uh, people....walk?"

 


Here's my favorite bit of the harp. Don't ask me why, but I really like the little bun feet.

 


We have since moved on to finishing, and are about halfway through. I forgot to take pictures, but I'd imagine the 2nd and 4th coat look a lot alike on the camera anyway. And last of all, for you mom....I found this on the camera. Apparently even the dog can solve the puzzle. I, alas, cannot.
