When a friend come over for coffee the other day, we talked about his upcoming eye operation and how he was booked to go into day surgery to have a new lens put into his eye .
He also told me he had started to take lessons in playing the accordion but complained that it was heavy to lift up and that he felt pain in his shoulders after just 20- 30 minutes of practicing and had to put it down again. I know exactly what you are talking about i said, i am having problems with my back and i also feel tired in my shoulders after awhile
I showed him a project that i had already started, a stand that holds the accordion so no longer would he have to lift it up and down, just walk up to it and start playing. He ordered one on the spot, it took me a couple of weeks to complete the project to my satisfaction.
I have now sold several such stands and the comment from my friend was that he now practice several times a day, it is simply so easy to use that i will come into the house to get something and while i am here i will practice a couple of lines of music … i love it, was he’s comment.
I will be selling this stand on E bay as i make them available, there is a fair bit of work involved so it takes awhile for each stand to be completed.
here is a photo of the stand
- Accordion Stand
It holds your accordion firmly in place , it can be adjusted up or down and it tilts side ways or towards you.
I have been playing since i was young just more or less for my own enjoyment but i recently bought Accordion lessons and what a difference to my playing it has made. The tutors name is Enzo Girribaldi, here is what his site looks like should you decide to try it out, this i promise you is one thing you wont regret buying, he is very good at what he does, you will also find that he is very friendly and helpful, and the lessons is very well set up.
PS:If you are in the market for a new accordion Enzo will help you to buy direct from the factory at a lot less than you would pay a dealer, but only if you are a student of his.

My name is Karl Jorgensen, I am self employed , I have worked as a cabinetmaker for nearly 34 years in Brisbane Australia. I was born in Denmark in 1951 where I grew up on a farm . we had in the farming community a kind of club called the “4 H club” , H for health, H for heart, H for hands and H for head. when all 4 is in good condition there is no stopping you. you see we had to learn What my Mother would call “survival skills” I learned to cook and to bake a cake, growing your own vegetables, animal husbandry as well and I learned to sew I have made clothe for myself and my kids. I like to create things, and that is why I have decided to make a blog , not only to show people what I can do but to learn from others, you see I think it’s time for a change. I am a very creative person when it comes to woodwork and I want to follow my passion ,but in the past is has been difficult, because it does not generate enough income by just making one thing at a time. But I have one thing that has made my life a lot easier the last 5-6 years , I call it my “mobile office” here is a photo of it.
I is a wooden box the size of a Pilot’s bag , you know the ones they carry on board planes.i has two sides that open , one side has the laptop fixed to it , all i have to do is open up and i am in my office . the other side houses files and the black thing you can see is my mobile printer. there is two small drawers for things like business cards print cartridges , camera etc,etc…
Behind the laptop is room for cords and charger .
I will talk more about it later , but for now I want to see if there is any interest in a product like this , I intend to make another version without the fancy inlay in it to keep the price at a level that anybody could afford to buy it . Please leave a comment about it tell me if you would buy it should it become available.
In the past I have made them one by one, for people that live in mobile homes, caravans or boats. this “mobile office ” has been a great help for me because I used to go out measuring up for a kitchen just taking down a few notes and some measurements only to come home and put the paper on my desk and then what happens is that some more paper gets put on top and you forget about it until the client calls to inquire about his quote . But now I can complete the job in the home , print out a quote and many times I come home with a check for the deposit to start the job .
Ok I could go on but the idea is for me to get out of making Kitchens for a living and do something that is a little easier for me to handle the reason being that my back is no so good anymore , I have to be careful not to lift anything heavy. so again Please leave a comment about the box, tell me what you think .
