I mostly like to make drums, but I've dabbled in a few other instruments. Here's an electric guitar I built one afternoon. It has a cable attached to it that goes straight to the pickup so it's always at full volume.

Shellacking
Recent depressing political events have given shellacking a bad name. But as a wood finishing I think it can't be beaten.
Shellac allows wood to resonate more naturally than polyurethane or nitrocellulose which is why it is used on high-end classical guitars.

Badge Making
Hmm. It's frustrating, a lot of parts have been delayed due to weather so I can't finish my current drum projects. For now I'm going to make a badge for the single-ply maple.
This takes a while. Good thing I'm not in this for the money.
There it is. Perhaps I'll try the heads on it while I'm waiting for the snare mechanisms.

Cymbal for Sale
Since I got my new Crash-Ride I haven't been using my second crash and she's been feeling neglected. She's a beautiful Zildjian K Custom Dark Crash. I've decided to find a new home for her where she will get the attention she deserves. You can bid on her on Ebay here.

Steam bent shell continued
Getting a little slowed down by the weather. Looks like I'll be taking the dog sled to the hardware store for some bolts and washers and things.
