Thank you all for the feedback. We have a solution in the works !
Thanks to everyone for your comments and suggestions. We’ve teamed up with Gary on this one and we think we have an excellent solution. Thanks again.
Thank you Kevin and David!
Hello, I am looking for an individual or company that can make a cnc mill for turning the inside and outside of stave drum shells. We’re currently using our flat bed cnc with spiral cutter head but...
Ed,
the shell is 3/8”
Thanks, Dave. It’s a automotive clear coat.
This was our first stave snare drum that went to a customer. But not just any customer.....it went to Spenser Sypher who is the drummer for the metal band ‘Jungle Rot’. He sent me a message today...
Thanks to all for posting some of the different situations one might run into when building a guitar. Very informative for sure.
I have quite a bit of wood from all over the world that I purchased years ago from an old woodworker/Woodturner. He worked at a wood importing company and was paid in wood. Unfortunately, he passed...
I score them with a tubing cutter used for brake lines etc. and snap them off. Full proof
I appreciate the replies very much so. It’s definitely an exotic species as it came from a collection of exotic woods from places outside of the USA. I wish John was still with us to solve the...
I never like making anything out of wood in which I’m not very certain about what species it is. I thought this platter was Mirindiba but now am not convinced. This piece is probably 20 plus years...
Roger, parts are readily available aftermarket.
Roger W. , the depth and diameter make the most difference in my opinion, but as you know there is a lot of debate when it comes to these questions.
Definitely some wood turning involved here.
Certainly looks like it to me.
A friend of mine is a gun stock maker and he sprays the stocks with automotive clearcoat. The best gloss finish I've ever seen. I just wish I knew more about his process so that I could tell you more.
I have the makita cordless that uses two 18volt batteries and it is as good as gas or electric. BUT IT IS ONLY A 12" BAR!
Get the Jasco brand stripper from Lowes and or Home Depot. It's in a copper color can.
If you have the room and I suspect you do, buy a separate planer and jointer. Skip the combo machines. Anything a combo machine does well, separate machines do better. I made the combo machine...
One method is to cut them and soak them in an oil based finish for a period of time. I know of a company who does this for one of their products but I do not know the specifics. A web search may be...
Reed,
If I ordered only one grit, would I want the 600 or the 1000? For sharpening bowl gouges mostly. Not reshaping them.
thanks
Thanks everyone for the information. Big help.
An old wood turner I know has a bunch of small Brazilian Rosewood spindle blanks that he acquired in the 80's and 90's. Is there any reason why I couldn't purchase them from him as far as it now...
This is ONLY MY OPINION..... But if it were me I would build something for a whole bunch less money. There are lots of diy ideas online if you look a bit. A floor stand allows you to move it around...
Joe, that finish looks amazing! Do you mind telling us specifically what you are using? Thank you
