I just posted part 2 of this series on YouTube. Click here to view it.
In this episode, I clean up the base after letting the glue dry overnight, then I cut a hole in the top to accept the organ leg post and I modify the organ leg post to make it ready to install into the base.
Due to the low audio on my voice in part one I decided to try something different on this one by overdubbing myself describing what is going on. I’ve seen other people on YouTube do this and I think it helped. I don’t have an external mic or anything and I’m recording on my iPad so I’m trying more now to speak a little louder.
I’m still working on it currently and can’t wait to get done. I’m staining and finishing the base now and I still haven’t decided what to do as far as hooks go. I can drill some holes and insert dowels, but I’m not sure there is enough meat there as it gets pretty narrow at the top and I don’t want it to look stupid.
Anyway, if you missed part one it is here.
If you missed why I’m making this and recording it, read my previous blog post.

Great looking project so far. I have an old organ myself that I might have to try that with. The one thing I would say is you may want to reconsider the grain direction of the legs. The way you have it drawn is going to be very weak. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, I thought I may have not done it the best way. I actually mention that later on in one of the next videos. They seem sturdy enough, though. I think they should be able to handle a few coats. Thanks for the feedback!
