"In a democracy (‘rule by mob’), those who refuse to learn from history will be the majority and will dictate that everyone else suffer for their ignorance."
The last time I moved a piano by myself was 32 years ago. Did it fairly often in my 20s and 30s, though (a sometime occupational hazard 😉 ). This (below)? A wee tad more than I’d want to attempt nowadays. It’s the knees, the back and between my ears. *heh*
I just decided I need an electroplating kit to rehab the grip on my 1930s German Fireman’s Dagger. The knife has a blade that edges toward short sword length and (apparently—I have not yet disassembled the grip) seems to have a rat tail. The grip is composed of two parts: an unknown metal alloy with two plastic scales pinned to it. The chrome plating is almost entirely worn away, so. . . silverplate!
