weekend madness

ok, here's a couple more projects on the works as if i have any more money to fund them all.

think OCDP! ha! its the old metal snare drum that came with my maya kit. i dont use it anymore ever since i broke the strainer. it gathered dust and rust for more than 2 years and now its back. i brought it to the versa for powder coating along with the lugs and hoops. i dont have the money to get new heads and a snare wire yet nor can i find a strainer that will fit the holes.

im thinking of selling this one:


and now for the big one, my most ambitious project yet:

the mold plus


raw veneer strips equals


a locally made shell!

the mold still needs a lot of work and im starting with a 10". i can make upto 9"-deep toms on that mold. hmmm made to order shells, i wonder if i can make a profit out of this.

the veneer strips are 4" by 9' maple, i couldnt get a source for wider strips so i went back to formaply and bought them anyway. one thing i cant do is make a natural finish out of the shell because of the seams. anyway, that's why im perfecting my painting skills.

more on this soon. promise. really.
