What to do with old piano parts (part 2)? Make a quick shelf!

I had the key cover left over from the old digital upright project, and thought it would make a cool shelf.

I screwed through the back to hold it all together, routed grooves and mounted keyhole hardware to the back, and hung it on the wall. I think it's cool that the 1902-era piano hinge is visible, as is the tuning record that was on the inside of the key cover.

The clock, incidentally, was another repurpose/recovery project. I found this old Hammond electric clock at a second hand store for next to nothing, but the movement was shot. I thought about rebuilding the movement, but it turned out to be too much hassle, so I just replaced the movement with a modern quartz one and called it good.

And the cards are from friends, my kids, and students. the banana one is a birthday card that says "one day only matters if you're a banana."

Thanks for reading!
