After being cut, drilled, stained, and finished the base board was threaded with the wires used before. Switches were connected and tested before the key pads were fastened in place.
Brass accent pieces were attached to each corner of the keypads and base board. Brass accent pieces were inexpensive and added character without overpowering the piece. Rubber feet were attached to the bottom of the base board to elevate it over the wires and reduce slipping during use. This ended the construction on the wooden keyboard itself.
