Designing a work space
The following may be of little interest excep to toher piano technicians but I add it here so that readers understand that there is more to the job than just tuning.
When we moved recently from a home with a 3 car garage that never housed the cars to a home with a 2 car garage with CC&Rs requiring the cars to be in the garage. I was faced with the dilemma of how to organize my piano shop workspace. Yes, I chose this challenge willingly. The biggest challenge was designing and building a piano action repair and regulation center. MY requirements for the space included:
1. A workbench top that is level ( to simulate a grand piano keybed) with dimensions of 30" X 60".
2. An air filtration system to remove the woll felt particles from hammer shaping.
3. Good lighting
4. A complete entertainment center - the last but definitely not the least priority!
When working in my shop, I like to have a TV with satelite connection with surround sound and DVD player. Then I do not mind the repetitive nature of some of the work.
I am still trying to figure out what to do for air-conditioning. The garage gets over 100 degrees easily on most summer days.
