Life sized Grand Piano

[madkayaker]

Looks fantastic come on a long way from when I was down last week. What about using some of his music to get the notes right?

 

[chunkolini]

WE have discussed that idea.
I tried using musical notes a while back in something and I think it would be like copying chinese calligraphy, it might look ok to the untrained eye but a composer might be driven mad by it.

Man, Chunko, Liberace would have wanted this one for his collection! Very cool. very cool.

Looking good Chunko....

I did a pair of security gates for father in laws shop, sometime ago.

There was an error in placing one of the notes somewhere, think it was a top row one.

Got all the notes laser cut, as singles, just put a strip across the top as required.

Wowwwww

Got it finished yesterday, to my relief I am able to move it around myself and put it together on my own. There was a bit of instability earlier that has gone as well.



Detail shot of how I finished the front.

I was pleased with this, it gives all the lines a start and a finish. I had not noticed until looking at the photo's that the whole thing looks to have been planned in an art-deco style in mind. But it cant have been because it was not planned.

And finally my idiot assistant Igor playing his symphony for the Unarmed man.


Hitch, I remember the musical notes you made, and was thinking of doing something like that, but thought if I get it wrong I might have an irate composer battering me.

He doesn't use arms to play, that's why he's standing

a note at a time ehh

 

[chunkolini]

Note the discrete placing of the screen on the piano, several notes at a time.

Gives a new meaning to 'Having a tinkle on the Keys' ??
Looks Good BTW

Tickling the ivories, he does look a bit of a plonker.

Delivered it today, in a snowstorm.
The customer won me over to rusting it ( I was not convinced) and was right, in it's new home it looks as though it has always been there.

I did the ammonium chloride thing last week in a blizzard and looked like a right fruitcake going over it with my plant mister thing to get a decent coverage.
Overall delighted with it.
New owners love it.

Lovely, looks like it grew there :-)

 

[chunkolini]

I have also offered to go back in the summer and varnish over the rust if fancies that finish.

 

[Robotstar5]

It does suit the setting

Can just picture Mrs Mills sitting there banging out a bawdy pub tune :-)
