Stretching the leather around the control panel cutout on the front panel. Very tough to do it, so I built this form. You can see in the gap that the baseplate was my old jig for cutting out the front panel potentiometer holes (before I made the pin-registered jig I'm using now). I took a piece of scrap in roughly the shape of the control panel cutout and glued it in place, but it wasn't really tall enough and the leather at the edges wanted to just sit on top of it, so I built it up on the edges with a couple of pieces of scrap. As you can see I sanded down the sharp corners to keep it from trying to split the leather.
So what I do is use wood clamps to apply some pressure and then I tighten up those big bands of industrial-strength velcro you see on either side. It seems like a gentler kind of pressure than the direct force of the clamps. After a few hours the velcro isn't as tight and it's time for more pressure and taking up some more slack in the velcro. Hopefully this will get the stretching all done without splitting the leather. As you can see it's already tight enough in the center that I've glued that part.
So here it is…the Jackson Clampulator. Shhh…it's a trade secret. Heh…now Tolex is plastic and stretchy, so this kind of stuff is almost a non-issue with Tolex, but leather ain't so eager to play ball. However, "Vee have VAYS of dealing with noncooperation!" I learned that from watching General Hofstader on Hogan's Heroes.

Elocution, Ett drömsommarjobb i dans. Föreställning utanför Konstmuseet, Norrköping 2014.
The portable heater activated the carbon monoxide detector in the cabin, so I rigged up this system to vent the gas through the chimney and heat the metal stove. It seemed to work. The temperature inside the cabin reached a high of 58 degrees and the carbon monoxide detector stayed silent.

Hi peeps,
The tree of wisdom, there it is. I was walking this path through the woods with my Canon on my neck, and I saw this sign: Stay on path! it said. It didn't bother me or something but, when I was walking further I saw these dense woods. Changed up my mind and went off to there for some pictures, off the path.Then I looked around the corner and I saw this tree with steps on it. Really weird to see how you have to go up, I didn't seem to understand the purpose.. Treehouse? To look further in the distance? I don't know, but it's strange.
Greetings,
King Matrix
