Milk pack Jig for Bellows Repair to Stagi / Trinity College

[genepinefield]

I made a bellows jig by packing an empty milk pack with newspaper. Stainless steel pipe in the center.

One side width is 60 mm.

It fits perfectly in Stagi / Trinity College /maybe Swan, Lochele

Trinity College / Maybe the Swan has the problem of melting gussets over time ... a jig for that.

Gives new meaning to the ad phrase “Got Milk ?”

love the end stands, almost the character for mountain except for the cross bar.  Very clever ratcheting action.  At least in the concertina community, ingenuity is alive and well.

Hahaha!😆 Some concertina players says, I have to go buy milk, we think they make bellows jigs😆.

Sheep or goat jumping to the stand and becomes a bellows parts☠️. The ratchet wasn't designed from the beginning, it happened to be like this.
Thank you!
