I'm really really bad at long projects so I'm externalising my motivation. Every task gets a tick. Every section gets coloured in on the drawing. When I'm done I get a fully playable accordion. Hopefully.
(Context is I got a neglected and musty but functional second hand accordion for a tenner. I'm hoping it's all doable surface fixes but I haven't opened it yet so I'm a bit nervous about what I'm going to find in there. wish me luck)
Sections complete: 0/8
Playable state: -
Progress log:
05.01.25: metal bits cleaned and polished, left hand strap fully repaired and reattached. Despite multiple attempts the corrosion on the corners of the bellows is resisting any repair. The bastard stickers also won't come off (unsurprising, they are probably older than me) but I don't want to risk any of my usual solutions until I know what the casing can take. Still dreading what I'll find in the bellows.
