is hella good.

Current project: bloodwood drum shell finished in pure tung oil. 1 coat finished on the inside, edges finished w/ parrafin wax.

First coat on the outside of the shell soaking in.

4th beer on an empty stomach.



Hmm...oh man, I have a can of vegetarian chili in the cupboard! w00t!

 

[H8R]

Partae!

 

[narlus]

don't crap on yr new handiwork. looks nice.

full sail changed their label design.

how could a vegetarian chili not contain beans?

 

[maxyedor]

Vegaterian chili without beans is just tomato paste.

That is the coolest drum I've ever seen!

Please tell me that shell will be floating and you won't FVCK it up by drilling for the hardware!

tell me about the drum.... is it pieced together then turned on a lathe?

the bearing edge looks F'ing Saweeeet.

are you making these? or just finishing them? I am a little confused

I love it.........



OH, I may try the beer suggestion too!

I hate floating snares, the Pearl hardware is garbage. This is getting custom machined alum lugs. (in black chrome)

It's made by a company called Global - segmented contruction, then turned on a CNC lathe, (the bearing edges too) then CNC engraved. The tolerances are like .005" or so.

I'm finishing it in hand rubbed tung oil. I't getting at least 10 coats.

That is a gorgeous shell. I love deep wood snares.

But I was sure you would end up rubbing beer on the drum and taking a long pull on the oil.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Nice drum.

Full Sail Pale is an OK brew.

Yes I agree, the pearl hardware is junk! I hope the custom stuff you are making shows off the beautiful wood!

Is that a Tung oil "varnish" or just tung oil? I have used both a bunch for different furniture projects, and like the tung oil varnish a lot. It almost leaves a stronger coating. Not quite a regular varnish or laquer finish, but sumwhere inbetween oil, and laquer.

looks great, and now that you mention the hardware, I vaguely remember (I think it was) you asking about black chrome!

4 beers on an empty stomach and then a can of this??
Sounds more like a colon blow than a "Partae".

Sweet looking drum.

 

[H8R]

Finished shell, lug drilling to commence after a few days cure.

More beer pics later...

That would be a huge mistake. Tung oil is totally nontoxic when cured but possibly fatal if ingested in the raw oil form.
