Building a Glue Wheel
By Ed Gaida

Somewhere in one of my posts to the MMD I mentioned the glue wheels
that I had seen the Wurlitzer factory in Holly Springs, Mississippi.
Once again faced with a lot of glue work, I decided to build a
miniature version of those I had seen at Wurlitzer.

This little fellow is perfect for gluing organ pipes, my current
project, as well as many other things.  You will find the instructions
along with lots of pictures on my web site.  The link is just below
another one on a Bohemian Barrel Organ.  The pictures on that page
show, up close, some of the "high quality" lumber used in building
this particular European instrument.  There are also two photos of
a beautiful Mira music box that resides at the same residence as the
Bohemian organ.

It is all at:  http://www.txdirect.net/~egaida/
