I recently acquired an old piano, I stripped it back to usable wood I could recycle. This weeks project I make a lamp recycling what was some of the tuner from inside the piano, and yes it took me some time to unscrew all the tuning pins from the pin block.

  • Never thought I would see the day an old piano tuner would turn into a lamp, but I'm glad I did. That speckled effect with the spray paint is excellent.

  • I was a little disappointed that you used that stone looking product to cover the wood…UNTIL you added the gorgeous blue tiles. That is a beautiful lamp! The shade is perfect for it too. I’m guessing people would get a big surprise, if they picked up the lamp thinking it was ceramic or stone, and learned it is wood.😮😀😁 Excellent work Matt!👍🏼👍🏼

  • Great job. What about turning the holes outward and filling the holes with epoxy? Another lamp

    @billykowalski4305@billykowalski43056 ай бұрын

  • Interesting idea BUT a word of warning, old pianos are glued together with animal glue (melted down horses if you Really wanna know). When it gets too hot, it melts, goes all slimey and the bits of wood slip away from each other. When it gets too cold, the glue cracks and the bits of wood fall apart from each other. That's why underfloor heating in the home (or kept in a kitchen) or being stored in a garage or shed (or kept in a cold/hot conservitory) will all kill a piano.

    • The pin blocks in old pianos are solid beech, modern pianos use laminated beech. The rest of the core wood is usually cheap pine. The outer case is usually venered. Only very very Very old pianos have solid wood cases.
