I'm getting all moved into my new studio/office. It's still messy and I'm not 100% sure about the placement of everything but it's nice to have all my gear in one location. What you can't see in this photo is the closet that stores my percussion gear.
I got the outside of my 8" snare all lathed up. I even took it for a test drive and set a drumhead on it to see how it fit. It was perfect. Now to sand it and start on the inside. Since this is such a small drum, I won't be able to fit a router on the inside. I have a plan but it's going to be time consuming. Since I'm heading out of town in a few days, I think I'll wait until I get back before I get started on the inside.
This is a test run of my drum-lathing jig. I've since added 60-grit sandpaper to the plywood discs to ensure that the drum shell doesn't slip while spinning. I'm going to take this jig on its maiden voyage tomorrow night. This is for an 8" shell.
Never work with children or animals! All I was trying to do was get a shot of a jig I'm working on.
What could this possibly have to do with stave drummaking? You'll find out...
New stave drum glue up looks a lot better than last time. It's amazing how much of a difference it makes when your bevels are cut accurately.
When protecting your cast-iron tabletop from rust, apply several coats of paste wax and vigorously buff out with a paper towel or a large cat.
Here's where I screwed up. In cutting my staves, I needed an angle of 11.25° on each edge. What's 90 minus 11.25? The answer is 78.75, not 79.75 which is what I set the saw to. This is what happens when you try to do precision work while also worrying about filming the entire process. I was one whole degree off on each edge. With two edges and sixteen staves, this amounts to a 32° gap total. Other than the pieces not glueing up very easily, I didn't realize there was a problem until I noticed the digital readout while I was editing the video as the glue was drying. Time to start over.
This is my latest snare drum build. It's made from repurposed jatoba flooring. It's taking me a while because I'm filming the entire process. There should be a YouTube video within the next few weeks showing how I made this.
