tuesday 8th
today was the true start to the setting up process. I was measuring the cubic volumes of some of the smaller piano components with mind to setting the frame timings on the upcoming animation. I constructed a water displacement machine out of palletts and a blue bin (see images) but got a little caught up in wondering where to round up or down to.

Where do the fractions of pennies from people's pro-rata wages go? Does the bank keep them for intrest?

When I was in cork last year I visited an instrument maker's shop. The entire ceiling of his workshop was crowded with half-done cellos, all hung on great silver meathooks to dry/settle. It was an amazing sight and one I only just remembered when looking at how I plan to use meathooks to suspend some of the heavier metal pieces of the piano.

There was some issue with surface tension affecting the results, I need to find a deeper container with a smaller surface area like a piece of pipe.
