Things are going slower than I hoped. I have cut and shaped two stretcher pieces for the bench but need to do one more for the bottom.
I used various tools jigsaw to make a curve, spindle sander and rasp file along with hand sanding.The router table was then used to add a 1/2" roundover to the sides.
I also cut the pieces to make the keyboard stack which I will work on while the glue is drying on the bench later. The sides are made from walnut and the base is 12mm plywood. The plywood will sit in a slot in the cheeks and have a solid walnut front.
The problem is it is so cold the glue isnt really working properly adding to the delays. I hope once the bench is out the way the main part of the organ console will come together quite quickly.
