I am a hobbyist drum builder and woodworker. This is not a how-to channel. This is FIRST a documentation of me learning what kind of product I can pull off on a shoe-string budget, and SECOND -- MAYBE -- motivation to get people off the couch and into their shop or garage or backyard and make something. And maybe you'll learn something from my many mistakes!

COMMEMORATIVE DRUMS, Episode 4
In this episode, I all but finish the first test shell (just needs some high polish, and then it's a wait for sample hardware) and get started on the second, this time it's featuring the interesting end grain.
If you're just tuning in for the first time, this is a big project, where I take a stack of heavy, solid-wood doors (not solid oak, for better or worse, despite what the veneers once SEEMED to suggest) from my old high school, which was recently torn down, and make them into new concert percussion drums for that same band program in their new building.
As ever, let me know your thoughts.
Cheers!

COMMEMORATIVE DRUMS, Episode 3

The gaps in the original joinery under the veneers on the old doors is not pretty, but I think we're going to run with it for now. For the woodworkers and drum builders watching, I am as ever open to suggestions. For the next test drum, I'm going to try it end grain, which should eliminate issue of the gaps and bad original joints. THANKS FOR WATCHING!
COMMEMORATIVE DRUMS, Episode 2

Well, we're going for it. The wood under the veneer is not what I thought it would be, but there's a good chance the drums will be all the more interesting for it. In this episode, we cut the staves for the first drum the first test drum and glue up the shell blank.

I have no idea how this will turn out. The idea is to make beautiful, commemorative, concert drums from old doors (like, really old) out of my now demolished old high school, but I'm not sure the quality of the material will support the goal.... Special thanks to the Dover High School band program and district administration for making this project possible! (I mean, they saved the doors from f...
BLACKWOOD & BONE, Pt. 2
Переглядів 8 тис.3 роки тому
This is not the originally intended use of these bones, but it's turning out to be a perfect opportunity to learn how to use them as a building material. If you've ever worked with bone before, I'd happily welcome tips and tricks. The stuff is very hard and very brittle. I'm hoping that I can reasonably prevent chip-out when I mill the shell this week. THANKS FOR WATCHING!

This one REALLY is the last video in the series. The drum is finally where I want it. It sounds great. It looks great. And I wish I could keep it. In this video, I run you through the final repairs and adjustments something that is consistently necessary when I'm doing something new or different, like a double inlay rering or an odd size shell or a new hoop design. Sorry about the audio clippin...
BONE TEST | #woodworking #drumbuilding

In preparation for cutting air vent inserts out of bone, well, I had to try it out first. The tolerances were really loose between the hole saw and the plug cutter, but that won't be a problem when the new bits come in for the blackwood shell.

I've been waiting for a long time to do this drum. A client of mine, with whom I've worked on several projects shared on this channel, found a big chunk of African blackwood for a pretty incredible price. You'll see for yourself, of course, that the wood is substantially (not quite fatally) flawed. It turns out there was just enough for the shell and, hopefully, enough material left in the offc...

I promised this would come out sometime over the weekend, and it is still the weekend, if barely. It took some doing to get these staves glued up, but I finally pulled it off.

BUILDING FLOWER BOXES
Переглядів 3504 роки тому
Well, this isn't a drum. It is one of two flower boxes I built for my wife's birthday to put on our front porch. I ran out of a paint and wood filler, and getting anything from Home Depot is a pain in the neck right now, so the second one is still sitting in the garage. Next week, though, it's time for top soil and flowers, so, one way or another, they both need to be completed. If you're wonde...

This is as far as I can take the hoops until the custom heads come in. I'm glad I've found someone who's able to make calf-skin heads in custom sizes. It never ceased to amaze me how many mistakes still happen despite planning and care. I rarely do my own hoops, and I've never done them this way before. I suppose mistakes are inevitable. I'll have to do this more often.... In the meantime, sinc...

Living and learning. You did good! Best wishes always! ♫♪♫
U need another router... Take the FESTO 1400 EBQ👍
Que le dio de grosor al aro me gustaria saber
Ur hoops is great for my ropes but I prefer standard screw down ones.
Nice job.
Are you still alive? Hope everything is going okay - definitely liked where this was going. Love blackwood AND drums hahaha cheers!
sounds good man
พี่ชาย ตัดกี่องศาครับ😊
Sounds like a timbale🤘🤘🤘
Very nice build. And Very nice playing. I really like the overtones this snare has, great job!
De unde achiziționezi lemnul? Mulțumesc!
Stunning!
You can but a cheap dust collector from Harbor Freight that's what I use.
Enjoying this, is there going to be an episode 4 with the finished product?
Amazing skill
I can’t believe this was 6 years ago. Seems like yesterday. How are things?
I know, right? I am impossibly busy. Unfortunately there is just no opportunity for me to do woodworking right now. It's a shame, but it's not the end of the road. I'll get back to it eventually. Thanks for checking in!
Great Job! Very creative solutions for the hardware. Are you making anymore?
Im sad that you stop recording snare building videos. Hope everything is ok and you will make one more soon :) btw you inspired me to make my own stave snare! Thank You
Amazing 👏😍
You're getting tear out because you are milling in the wrong direction. You should be climb milling. This will avoid tearout completely. I learned that the hard way too! lol.
Love this. Awesome man. Im building ply drums and have been looking of this. Well done!
Mujhae iska seeds chahia
It’s a wood snare with brass sounding quality…crazy! Looks gorgeous!
Not sure if I'll ever build a hoop, but there were some inovative jigs there that I will definitely steal! Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic job! New sub on your channel ❤🥁 Great from Mattia, 13 years old italian drummer!!!🎵🥁🥁🥁

Please save your fingers on this table saw!
At 4:20 what angle degree did you use?
Please, be careful with your fingers, at least stop the saw when you’re repositioning your stave! 👏The wood is much cheaper than the new hands.
WOW! So beautiful! What did you do with the scraps?
Helps reinforce to me the idea of having a moisture meter when making fine instruments and furniture. I always learn so much from your videos. Love the jigs.
Just an Idea to pass on to you as a snare builder myself brother, And by the way, nice work from the minimal shop tool setup like most of us with our home garage shops, etc. So, @14:40 I would have liked to see Brass stock used and polished, then a few coats of clear automotive clear coat found at Home Depot in the paint area on the shelf with the other cans of paint, I have brass now over 8 years ago sealed with this clear coat that has not turned green, or reacted with the wood. Anyways just saying when you mentioned not caring for that look, I think you would be more liking of the brass stock used in place of the wood spacer or stand-off. Good to see all three of you involved in the build, good memories are being created there for sure with the young man. Cheers.
I worried about your fingers when you use the table saw, please be careful and use guides or something like that, thanks for your videos!
Beautiful drum and great hands. Both took attention to detail and a lot of work.
What are the measurements to those rectangular blocks at 6:16
I saw a few hundred dollars of dust blow out the door😳
Where can i find that piece of a.blackwood?
nicely built. may I ask what do you put on the inside of the shell to seal the wood?
Tengo una pregunta. Cuántos grados le doy a la máquina para formar un círculo, ya que no cuento con fresadora. Muchas gracias sos un genio 🎉
If you want to make a 14" drum, first you must find circumference. Multiply (pi) 3.14159 x (diameter)14 = 43.9823" Now you must divide (circumference) 43.9723 x the number of staves you want to use. Lets pretend you want 30 staves. Take 43.9723 ÷ 30 = 1.4657" wide staves. Now we must find our angle of bevel. We know that a full circle is 360 degrees. Take 360 degrees ÷ 30 staves =12 degrees. Each stave has two sides, so divide your bevel angle in half. So youll need 30 staves that are 1.4657" wide. And youll need to have your bevel set to 6 degrees.
Nice build... How do you coat the wood? did you just oiled them or you put coats of polyurethane sealer etc.? many thanks
absolute beauty... what's the moisture content of the wood you use? thanks
I love wooden hoops, especially on snares. I'd love to try one of these. 👍 great job
Did you buy this blackwood live edge from Exotic wood zone?
Music is always so good on your vids!!
IT'S A BIT! NOT A BLADE!
Hey, good job!
You should switch to Evans heads, their hoops always fit the shells so much better. I’ve had shells that I thought weren’t evenly round and when I put an Evans head on I realized the shell was fine and the hoop was not even. Evans 360 sit perfectly flat on the shelf as well before and during the tuning process.
