Craig, kudos is on your repurposing an upright piano case.  It is very
well done.  You were, and are, a talented craftsman and researcher.

I do hope that your thumb did not suffer the inevitable consequence of
your closing the vise on it that seemed only seconds away, when this
picture was snapped.

I must say I knew the gentleman in that photo, and he has not changed,
in my opinion, over the decades from when this picture was taken.
Where do you hide the portrait that is aging?
