acrylic for octobans

NOT....

before i begin with the pvc octobans, i tried to dig up some acrylic tube suppliers around. i found fabri-plast industrial corporation and they are from somewhere near c. raymundo, pasig. they have a 6" clear acrylic tube that is at least 1/4" thick and 1.2 meters long. the problem is it costs 8800. it will be cheaper to buy a ready to use pair than to make some with these tubes.

i also asked if they have a 14" tube, fortunately they have none or i would have more problems since i really want an acrylic snare.

my 14" tom needs a lot more work im not even half way. its turning out quite as nice as my 10". still no problems and i hope it stays that way.

another side note, i ordered 2 router bits for making staves last sunday. my cousing is coming to the philippines and i was hoping i could get the items shipped to him before he leaves. i got an email today that my order was cancelled and they cant even deliver it by nov. 17.

i found a drum rack on national music supply from the US. its about 175 dollars including side wings and four tom holders. its ideal for my future segmented drums setup. i am calling them personally to verify my credit card info because it got cancelled too.
